Jamie,

There is a lot of discussion on this... but the best summary is found here. http://www.vanagon.com/info/tires/index.html

Make sure you have the proper off-set if the wheels are non-standard, also that the tires can handle the load rating.

So here is a stupid one for somebody.

Cna I just buy new 15 inch wheels and tires and replace my 14 inch wheels and tires on my 84 westy? Or is there something else I need to change to make this possible. Brake shoes? rotors?

Just wondering as I have come across some pretty nice wheels and would like to jump on it. =
