Trying to put on new tires for my 85 Limited. Tires have rotation direction but cannot seem to find a direction for the rims. Looked on spokes, edge but nothing. Just want to ensure previous owner had in fact had the tires put on correctly. Or don't they have them?
Can anyone help me out?

On the rear, the rim has the final drive section on one side, and it's pretty obvious you couldn't put it in backwards.
On the front, the rim has the speedometer drive on the left side, so again, it won't work if it's mounted backwards.
