JPit,

There are two ways you can go to get 15" knockoff wheels, either purchase and install 6-pin hubs from ERA and get 6-pin knockoff wheels or go with adapters for your existing hubs and 5-pin knock off wheels. Trigo makes both kinds. The more authentic (and thus the more expensive) way would be the 6-pin hubs, the less expensive route is the adapters. You will have to figure out the proper backspacing for the wheels depending on which route you select. I went for authenticity.

The ERA manual specifies 4.75" front/5.25" rear ground clearance (on frame). I run a little less than that with the 17" wheels/tires, since they are only 25.7 inches tall. I'm running 275s up front, 315s in the rear.

Have fun with your winter tweaking!

Gary
