Hi all,
Here's a new fly in the ointment regarding
whitewall widths for 80s Imps.
I checked the 1 5/8ths dimension out, and it
seemed like it would be too wide to match the
original style.
I then did some detective work. I measured the
width of the cornering lamp on my car. Then I
looked in the 81 brochure at the side view printed
there. Using the cornering lamp and tire I figured
that proportionally it works out to a 1 3/16 inch
wide whitewall.
I think that would look correct.
The Goodyears on my 83 now have a 3/4 inch wide
stripe and it is definitely to narrow.
So, anyone know of a tire that has 1 3/16??
