Does the 1 inch narrower rim change the height of the tire any noticeable amount? seems like it would if it pulls the sides in. The tires sort of crown in the middle on a 14 " rim. I will take some pics if I can get a clear shot. I am in no huge hurry to buy the wheels..just shopping. Trying to concentrate on getting it runing again as I took it apart last fall...just been waiting on the weather.
Shouldn't change the height much if any at all. You might have to change the air pressure a little.
