I second this.

While on the subject of tire sizes, I just came across this which talks about the 8448. It shows a couple near-final prototypes in which there are 8880 tires (2997) fitted on 8462 rims (32077) and they seems to fit well.

Because the proper 8448 wheel/tire set is so scarce and expensive compared to this combination, I want to ask if anyone has put the two together and, if so, do they come together well? I built a poor man’s 8448 but it is just now riding on the 8386 wheel/tire set which seems too small and offsets too far outbound. 32077 seems like just the right rim to use.

Thanks
Keith

PS: Before you ask, the visual wheel helper couldn’t tell for sure either.
