[VAC] Tires for 1969 Caravel



After reading the postings and looking at Tom Patterson's List, I ordered
two new Goodyear Marathon ST225 R75 15D tires for my 1969 Caravel.  The
previous owner had passenger tires (205-70R 15) on the trailer.  The tires
are ready to go on the new rims that I purchased.  Here is where I need some
advice.  Looking at the old and new tires, it  appears to me that the new
tires are going to be a little snug  in the Caravel's wheel well.    Of
course, the best way to test this would be to mount everthing up, but I
don't want to foul up the new tires in case I need to return them.  Would
appreciate some guidance.  Thanks.
