As a novice, I have numerous questions. Please bare with me. Any advice is hugely appreciated….
My driver side front tire is completely flat and am in panic mode!!
I was told that when I bought it 8 years ago it had the original tires with the white walls.
At this point I fear that the tire is probably damaged without repair and now concerned about the rim and the weight affecting it. (It has only been flat, Completely flat for close to 2 days). That said I figured I’d just spring for new tires all together……..Or… since my ultimate goal is to go for the “stink bug” affect, with the rear a bit elevated. My plan is to have it towed to a tire repair shop .. Les Schwab, tire factory, or discount tires are what came to mind supposing they may have them in stock.?? Is it possible to rotate a rear tire in replacement of the flat, and then buy larger tires and just replace the rear ones with a larger size? I also came upon an article that said white walls were no longer manufactured, which seems hard to believe. I read the specs on the vehicle and the ‘73 appears to be of Unicorn status and I’m finding conflicting information often confusing the 2 door with the 4 (mine is 4). Not sure if there’s even a difference in wheels period. Based on what I read on the current wheels and really have no idea what means what but here goes-
American Bronze
235/75R15
24750
Upon researching on google-
All 4 wheels - 5- 1/2jjx5
Tires-15-hr78
assuming my current tires are 15”? Seems to be standard for these. Can I actually put 17”or 18” to accomplish my rear lift?
Additionally, I have the original hub caps and beauty rings.. will either of those affect my potential idea?
Lastly, am I just screwed because my car is sitting on its rim?? Help
