2. Don't know, but right size for speedometer which is "optimistic" with 165x400 and would be about right for 600x16 with which earliest 1900's were fitted, and you can try other 16" tires if careful of clearance under fenders.
3. Basically same clearances, but two liter never had discs at all, only drums; 2600 drums at first, then discs front with rear drums, then discs all round. 1900 wheels fits two liters which fit 2600 (hub caps interchange, but some particular caps more common on particular cars).
Look nice, don't they? Don't forget to check the attachment on specific order numbers for parts. (BHW Here is a Hint - knockoff should mount LH threads on right side so the motion of wheels will tighten them instead of loosen them.) Jay
