Got the wheels back from the tire shop. Stuck with the 215/60 front & 225/70’s in back. BFG is the only manufacturer of a 215/60r14, btw. Measuring as best I could it looks like b.s. is 3-1/8”. The front measures 3-1/2”. The extra width was added to the front side.
I adjusted the brakes and they seem to work good for cruising around the ol country road. Definitely going to put the brake parts on this weekend though.
