Gordon, I would say your recollection is probably pretty close. When I first obtained my '76 Newell, it had I believe 10/20's and we put on new 11R 22.5's rims and tires, the '78 I had already had 11R 22.5's and the '86 I had last already had 11R 24.5's. Now whether any of them were original I don't know if I remember what any of documentation showed if anything. I do know the '76 had the 20" split-rims. Either way I'm pretty sure the early one's can accept the 22.5's. Tire height would again be a question with regard to clearance. I had quite a bit of space in the main portion of the wheel well, so it could be just a matter of enlarging the wheel well opening. More food for additional thought.
