In checking GW's page, saw the note re: 16" wheel upgrade.

Not sure about the 15" wheel (depending on width?) but if the OP upgrades, he
might need to modify the spare tire carrier (aka "clamshell")

Just a thought.

I've long thought to upgrade to 15" or 16" wheels but have been
running 14" on my '81
and have gotten used to the limitations. (i.e. windy days on a freeway)
