No worries! You were right on with your info, and if nothing else at least you weren't just slamming the OP like the usual suspects because he offended your delicate sensibilities by suggesting something other than 50 year old technology.
Funny thing is, I kind of live with the hate. My brother (who got me into Mopars when I was in high school) has a '70 Barracuda Grand Coupe and loves 15" wheels and BFG's. I ran 16" wheels on the rear of my Duster for a couple of summers and he used to call them wagon wheels. Can't wait to see what he says about the 17" wheels and 245/45's it will roll out on this summer. :p
