I have a 1972 RR with the original purchase order showing the car was purchased with the T87 Road Wheels and RWL F70 X 14. I understand the diameter is 14 inches, but what is the width of the rims? Please help me to understand. I thought they were 7 inches wide apparently I am confused.
Thanks,
Wejewill

I believe the only 7 inch wide rims were the 15 Rallye wheels. All others were 6.
4th generation B bodys- there is no substitute.
