Can get some 165-80-15, but really hate to use a Chinese tire, and can't find a USA made tire that size. Firestone sells a 195-65-15 that would look nice, but they suggest a 5 inch wide rim. What happens, if I mount them on a 4 inch rim? TIA

Side walls do bulge out a bit, Been on there for a few years now and have made hundreds of 1/4 mile passes, plus street miles. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA
