Bus discs and 15x7s
Today I swapped out the 90 degree upper grease fittings on the '66 bus to a short straight design and the 15x7 Phone Dials fit on perfectly, not even close to rubbing anymore.
I put on Kumho KH11 tires in a 205/65R15 size. Very nice looking fitment for my application. I probably could go 215/65 next time. The bus has yet to move with the new tires, but they are a great deal and AA traction and A heat rated (tops in both categories). Judging from the ECSTA 712s on my other car if these are half as good then they will be perfect for a bus.

Those tires feel really nice on the road!
I have gone through a couple nice turns and it feels planted very well in the front. The rear still has the BFGs on there so I do not want to push it too hard and have the tail come around on me. Soon the rear will be taken care of.
