Hi guys
Just received this nice 870c. The wheels are 2.2'', would these be the correct/original kit size?

Re: 870c purchase. Wheel question
if they measure 2.2" overall OD, it's likely they are actually 2.0" wheels inside the bead surface. the original 870c cars had 2.0" wheels, which were white, I believe.
However, you could in fact get wheels that were 2.2" and most often pink. So you need to have a set of calipers to measure the inside surface of the bead to know for sure.

They are indeed 2" wheels according to inner diameter. Just need tyres now!
