I did something like that last year. = Got 4 steel 14" wheels and lug nuts from an ' 84, had 4 studded = Hakkapeliittas put on them and put them on the ' 87 Westfalia in place of the factory = alloys, driving in the snow was wonderful no slipping and sliding especially = when starting and stopping on inclines. The only down side was up to a ski = resort that was chains or 4 wheel drive with snow tires only, I had to put on = chains... I argued a lot that my studded snow tires could out brake and out turn = those SUV with the Fake(highway) M & S but to no avail..... The only = bad thing was these tires where/are load rated 1235 lb. per tire not LT = rated but high speed and heat were not a factor, so that would be something to check. Lloyd in Eureka, Calif
