Marcos Maniacs

Hi Hampton,
     I have used 175/60hr13 on original wheels with no problem. This results 
in a slightly smaller rolling radius but as you probably have a 3.54 rear 
end that shouldn't be a problem. On parts, I am shipping a container next 
week with lots of Marcos parts, so if you need anything Email me and I can 
include it if I don't have it already.
