Kevin,

Simon can do both front and rear hubs for the Jag setup. Or get Simon fronts and www.justcobras.com rear. That way you get the narrowed front track you will need; 6-pin, no adapters. Image of justcobras rear Jag hub:


Then you can order Vintage Wheels w 15" tyres mounted and balanced, so 15" tyres should not be an issue. They seem to last forever. For example, I have a set of Goodyear Eagle GTII w 6 seasons, 21,000 miles, about 50% rubber still left.

16" on one end and 15" on the other would not be the "original look". Some compromises to originality are generally made by us all. After a while, it's okay. Vintage has sharp 17" pin-drive rims, if that helps you.


Keep after it, Kevin...you'll find what you want eventually.

Regards,

Larry
