Question on rim and tyre size..

you can go for either.

the 7 will have a slightly stiffer sidewall then the 6.5

As MXHEVN suggests either will fit no worries,
The only thing I can add is that 195 will sit square on a 6.5" rim, on a 7" rim it is stretched very very slightly (it's only an extra half inch after all)

dont assume anything... dont even assume that stock lug nuts will work on your new rims...

most cases no, only when you buy a tyre and wheel package at a local tyre place is when you will get lugs.

JDMyard.com have lots of different lugs, pretty ones, light ones etc. Give them a ring.

love to see a pic of this when you get it all done Jay.

(this is my old car btw..hence the interest)

It will be good to see Monty with some decent wheels and riding on nice shocks again.

I spotted it yesterday with buddy clubs and new bump stops.
