    :clap: Bought new 165r 15/s (thanks guys for clue in me in right size) and installed them on my 15x4 ansen wheels , put them on this morning, the old slotted mags were not ansen like I thought though, they didn't have a name anywhere but the center caps were to big for the new ansens, I tried to post before/after pictures but they are 2 big! :cry:

    Everything in Texas seems too big LOL!
    I hate it when the pics are too big :mad:. I have a heck of a time figuring out how to save it where and then changing the sizes.

    I've been using photoscape a little and it lets you save and change the file size with a slider, pretty easy to use:)

    Goto www.photobucket.com, set up an account, then you can re-size them right on their site!! They have a "Message Board" setting, It's easy as pie!!

    My dad worked for Overseas Motors so we always had Morris' growing up, my brother has 14 of them! He has a 'woody' traveler,pickup,panel,4door,convertible,and 2door,plus several part cars, I have 2, the 67 in the picture has 88,000 miles on it and gets over 40 miles a gallon! I have another 67 without a title that is almost to perfect bodywise to be a parts car

    Man , that is a big tire and wheel, if it will fit that would look awesome, I wonder if the center caps for the new ansens will fit the older wheels? Thanks to all the complamints to all!
