are they 15" rims ??
I'd say they were 15". So did the safari cars run one rim width? No deep dish on the rears in these photos.
No 12" wide rims on the back of Safari cars as far as I'm aware.... I suspect they were same front and rear ?
On the competitive sections of the 1976 Safari, the car ran with 14" wheels and loose surface tyres.
6.5x14 Cromodoras on the front and 7.5x14 'chairs and flairs' Campagnolos on the back:

There are photographs of the car presented for scrutineering etc. at the start of the rally with 15" yellow coffin spokes and road tyres.
I'll post a link, if I can find one.
The Hrabalek 1977 Safari car runs round on 8x15 front and 9x15 rear yellow coffin spokes.
I wonder what the reason was for running 14"?
Tyre availability or handling considerations? ( suspension travel?)
Fair play on the knowledge database there Chris!

Well, David had me staring at period photos for long enough when I was making the stickers and stencil files.
