    I have followed a bunch of posts on fitting 16" wheels on my 1981 308GTBi, but I have not seen anyone reporting on putting the earlier 14" wheels on it.

    I know that the 16" ones are a good performance improvement, but will the 14" wheels fit? (Since I just bought a set from ebay.)

    It's getting VERY hard to find V Rated tires in 14", that's why..

    Goodyear flies my FULDAs in, all the way from the German production plant, with no US Retail distribution.

    Yeh, It really sucks to be limited to 130mph with the H tires. I sold my 14" tires last year...big demand for the vintage look. The more times change, the more they stay the same.

    Well, tire ratings HAVE changed over the years, but I stick with V ratings so I don;t end up arguing with Insurance reps after a crash.....

    Goodyear FULDA and some other Euro makers is about it, currently.

    I'm urging Goodyear to do something within the Vintage racing line, they stop ONE size from us, in one line!
