but you can clearly see the white lettering on the inside, so it looks like someone made a mistake.

It flows well with the clip on wheel tire balancing weights and the chipping clear coat with rust spots.

They actually made the speedo more accurate, although its still pretty horribly inaccurate anyway. I believe a former owner re-calibrated the speedometer to his larger tires (my guess would be 33 or 35) because when I'm going like 40mph, the speedo reads like 47.

The car has obviously been lifted with big tires in the past. The front shackles have a spring mount for ~3" lift and the rear axle/spring mounting crap is set up for blocks. The rear brake pipes have been bent to accomodate a larger spare too.
