    tires/wheels

    As long as you remember that the 'cheap' 8-bolt rims are for bias-ply tires ONLY... the 8-bolt rims do not have the proper bead angle for radial tires and are not designed to support the loads to the rim that radial sidewalls transmit. The 8-bolt HMMWV rims are sold cheap because they can...

    best place to tune-up my 6.2

    I'd beg to differ on the comment above... Grade 8 bolts are stronger than the Class 8.8 grade bolt on the CUCV starter. Don't confuse bolts catagorized by Grade vs Class; You're comparing US to Metric bolt standards. The GM OEM bolts are Class 8.8, rated: (factory bolt: 10mmx110mm length...
