Technical How about a all encompassing thread on wheels & tires?

15x 5 with a 145 sr 15 front -- 16 x 7 with a 235/85/16 rear

 

Front 195/65/15 6”wheel
Rear 235/75/15 7” wheel
Wheels from the Wheelsmith

 

Thanks Don, hopefully a lot more guys will post their rides along with the pertinent information, HRP

 

I'm running Cragar S/S, except I put moons over the spokes to be more conservative. They pop right off for when I want to go back to being a flashy, fun loving studly guy. Hasn't happened yet but you never know.

 

Ha, that's never stopped HRP!

 

Just going down the first page, lots of red X's and folks that haven't been around in a while....

 

Real Firestone sprint car rear, 12/31-15 on 10" PS Eng. Sebring Knock off wheels.

Michelin XZX series 145SR-15 on PS 4" wheel.

 

My pretty much stock 40 sedan has the new Torq Thrust originals on it in 15x7. 235/75r15 Radial T/A's in the rear, and 215/75r15's in the front. I rolled the rear fender lips with a piece of pipe against the tires, and if someone rides in the back, I have them sit in the middle or the sidewalls will rub. I think if I freshen up my 82 year old suspension, that will go away (spring shackle bushings are poor).

 

That’s my go to.

 

No doubt. I was referring to the posters, who for whatever reason, don't seem to be around anymore.

 

But that was years ago. A fresh start is good for the newer crowd.

 

Front- 165X15 Nexon tires on 15X4 1/2 Torque Thrust D's
Rear- 29X12.50X15 Hoosier Pro Streets on 15X10 Torque Thrust II's

I've said it before but it is bears repeating, there is absolutely nothing that hasn't been posted on the Hamb in the past, maybe the wording is different but in this case it's been 14 years, there is obviously a need for a up to date thread covering the subject. HRP

 

If I still had my 1940 coupe this is the wheel and tire set up I would have.

 

wide whites are my choice.
butt i’m NOT gonna pay the big bucks.

 

As an example, just Google any automotive problem and one of the first three,(usually the first) examples comes up a discussion on the HAMB.

 

Don, the Hamb as a whole is infamous and we are well documented as hoodlums, but when someone is looking for knowledge they can't find anywhere else they end up here. HRP

 

15x6 Wheels all they way around and 15x7.10 Firestones all they way around.

 

Here is my 39, 15X5 chrome 40 style Steelies from Wheel Smith all the way around with 5.60 -15 Coker Classic Bias plys on the front and L78 Coker classic Bias plys on the rear. Of course with spider caps topping them off.

 

Never go out of style. Popular in the 60’s and right now.

 

IMHO, that is the best looking mag wheel ever made, like you I liked them in the 60's and to this very day! HRP

 

A timeless Classic is exactly that... Timeless, it knows no boundaries.

 

I have been here for only four years, and I appreciate that threads are resurrected and updated so I have a chance to see and read valuable information that I missed. Thank you HRP and Happy Anniversary

 

Front - 14 x 6, 205/70R14
Rear - 15 x 8, 235/70R15 . I can just get the wheel/tire out through the wheel well opening. Any larger diameter and it wouldn't fit.

 

Front: 16x4 Ford steelies with 16x4.50 Firestones
Rear: 15x9.5 Halibrands with 15x10 Radirs.

 

Love that coupe ^^
