Sherry,

On my 1962 Bambi I went to 14 inch rims. I think that most Bambis camewith 13
inch rims. The larger wheels still fit into the wheel wells with nocutting. I
run radial tires, but if you are boondocking and are off road muchyou might
want to stick with bias ply because of the side wall flexing in theradials vs.
rocks, etc. and they might be more prone to damage.
