But, that would meen I would have those original splits still taking up room in the garage... LOL
Plus, me being a stickler for authenticity. I would probably never be completely satisfied with the 16" wheel conversion idea.

oh the madness of keeping a 68 Sub original...
I'd find someone that'll mount tires on split rims before I'd worry about finding tires for them. You'll probably be better off to do the 16" wheels & tires.
