In Reply to: Anyone have a Townie with 19.5 rims? posted by Lonnie Jordan on Friday, February 15, 2002 at 3:27PM :
I have them for my '64 W100 TW with 4.89 gears.
Since aggressive 19.5 rubber is scarce they usually sit in the garage.
I would not recommend anything larger than 9:00x16 on a pre '61 Spicer 44 front end. The eary versions '57-60 just are not overbuilt. Improvements were made in '61. The strongest 44 is that found with big knuckles (from the Spicer 70) & is often found on crew cab's, they do not however directly fit to pre '61's
