Just standard Larin passenger car tubes that I bought at Blains Farm and Fleet. 

https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/g--3531-larin-passenger-tire-tube.html

You've got a lot of latitude with tubes as far as size is concerned.  These are the same ones I run on wire wheel MGB 14s, Austin-Healey wire 15s - currently on the MGB - and Midget 13s.  Fits all three and the 15" M&H's as well.

There's probably a better tube out there, but I haven't been able to find 'em.

Well, I guess we're making a LOT of progress . . .  :roll:

Metal valve stems are for tubeless tires. Metal CAP on all valve stems. Tubes in all tires that are NOT racing tires designed for use without. Rule 2.F

Sorry, this came out a bit snarky. Didn't mean it to be.

Didn't sound snarky to me.
It sounded helpful.

It's all goody-good to me.

I have the tires now - headed to the junkyard tomorrow in search of a couple "donor" space saver wheels in good condition.

These small-diameter and skinny tires should allow me to set up the Rampage as low as the unibody construction will allow.

Steve, I have gone to the local tire shops and they have given me the space saver wheels because they don't want them and the county charges them a disposal fee.

I bought a couple of 15 x 4 space savers from the local U-Pick-A-Part junkyard over the weekend, from '90s era Mustangs.  5 x 4.5" bolt pattern, and what appears to be a usable backspacing.

Will post more details and pics when I get the front hubs sorted out.
