I get it, still a little confusing. I miss the old F70-15 days. Remember those?

Away!
No, your ratio to the width is the same, but the actual height is different because yours is 40% of 305 (122 mm tall) and his is 40% of 285 (114 mm tall).

How neat is that? That's pretty neat!

Well I am half way there...
Fed Ex still has not delivered my 4th rim, which just happens to be the one with the new lug nuts inside.
I had a belt starting to break in the right front tire so it was imperative that I get the two front wheels on before I had a blow out and tore up a fender.
In order to get the new wheels on I had to go buy some lug nuts that would fit in the new wheels. The original lugnuts fit in the new wheels but didn't allow enough room to get a socket on them.
The only ones I could find local on short notice were black so that's what are on there for now until the 4th wheel and new lugnuts arrive.
Anyway this pic provides a good contrast of old VS new... so here she is...
And a close up of the new wheels...
They are already dirty and need to be cleaned... lol
I will update this thread once I get the other two installed.

I also changed the engine oil and filters, collected my Blackstone sample, installed two new knock sensors, installed new ceramic front brake pads (will install the new rear ceramic brake pads when I get the rear wheels put on), and installed the new Gruven heater core T-connectors and the Dorman cast aluminum Y-connector for the other plastic fitting on the heater hoses.
Which replaced all of this plastic crap...
I actually forgot to take a pic of the old plastic Y-connector but you all know what they look like.

Nice, I tried running tires with less sidewall but I just end up with a case of curb rash in no time that extra sidewall saves me lol.
