Ohc Joe,you might also want to check sizing of 215/75R/16 and 195/75R/16 in comparison to stock size for a '36. not thinking front fenders not diff.than '37. the 225/75R/16 come a tiny bit closer than the stock but do not rub. Tom.

Anyone know if the small aluminum type cap pops off easily on the big center cap on these type of artillery wheels also
If you are referring to stock '36 hubcaps, the smaller diameter stainless steel center can be popped off the larger diameter part of the main hubcap by "carefully" drilling a small hole in the inside center area of the cap, while being very carefull not to drill the hole into or thru the outer stainless steel cap. Then apply air pressure to that hole using the rubber tip end of of the airline trigger attachment. That should pop the outer stainess cap right off the main part of hubcap.
