16 in rims on 1986 BII ???

Yo! Greetings from chilly Northern Québec. 1986 BII in it's second winter with me, not a single problem. I did have to feed it some gasline antifreeze at -32C last week. Was coughing. A neighbour just gave me 4 X 215-70-16 winter tires, barely used. If I could find 16 in rims that fit the BII, I ...

tire wear

Yo! I drive an '86 4WD BII, 5sp/2.9L. Winter tires are mandatory here in Québec as of Dec 15. My present ones are a bit thin. I have 2 Lee Snowtrakkers about half worn. Would it be dangerous for the drive train to combine them with 2 new ones because of diameter difference?
Merci!

Re: oil overflow from dipstick tube?

Yo! That's fast! I'll test that valve and check the air filter. Hopefully, I won't have to proceed any further. However, would a compression test show maybe one cyl way lower than the others? It sure is peppy, though. Ah well, time will tell....... Time to stay real close to the wood stove. Many ...

Ok no rust holes. Dipstick itself covered with oil all the way up. Not sure if this is normal. Could a bad ...
