Ed - I would caution you about running 185/70-13's on a Corvair,  
unless you really want to. These are much smaller in diameter than  
original 6.50 or 7.00-13's.  If you are aware of this and want a set  
of tiny rollers, then have at it.  If you are interested in being  
anywhere close to original diameter, run, as fast ass you can, from  
the 185/70's.
