Nothing, standing them side by side comparing old rim and tire to new rim and tire there was a 2 inch difference in height.
The Ford rims also are 7 inch wide, original rims were 6.5 inches wide.
maybe something to do with original tires being 8 ply and replacements being 10 ply.
my M880 had 9.50-16.5 tires
my swap was to early 90s 16 inch 8 bolt Ford rims and i am running 10 ply LT 265/75 16 tires.
had to change all the lug nuts also, its now sits about 2 inches higher than it did before. these tires just barely clear the front fender.
i know the speedo is off on mine.
