I am the proud new owner of a "new" '82 SD with 70,000 miles. Can the original rims and tires be replaced with the later 205 65R 15 rims and tires without a drop in performance? I have a '83 SD with 350k and have always hated trying to keep the wheels clean. The 15's look so much easier to clean.
Change of wheel and tire size?

Yes, you can use 205/65R15 with no problem at all. To keep your wheel clean, you need to use a different brand brake pad. I highly recommends Axxis MetalMaster but you probably will be totally happy with Axxis Deluxe (which is OEM braking performance without dust).
