[AJD] AR Front wheels

[Tommy Wilson]

Dee,
         I suppose the previous owner could have switched them for 
some reason. I've looked again and am satisfied that they are 18" 
wheels. Here is a link to the best picture I have of the old tires. 
It's pretty hard to tell but see what you think. Guess I need to find 
two 16" rims now. Thanks.
