Hot Rods BIG WHEELS ALL 4 CORNERS PICS...

REALLY STARTING TO DIG THIS LOOK,,,

 

looks like no one likes this look,,,but me.... cool

 

Sorry, couldn't help myself

 

My OT Model A has 325's on all four corners.

The wheels are big, they are 20 x 11.

 

And

 

I've always liked this one............. but don't tell anyone.

 

Some people would call that "Small wheels all 4 corners."

 

a 6.00x16 front tire pairs well with a 7.50x16 on the rear on a fenderless car.
only reason to go smaller on the front is when you need to tuck the tire under a fender.

 

Some don't have the why of things ,,small size up front = less weight = less force EZer to control,bump an wiggle.+ < Was not a style thing really as much as how things work well ,with straight axle.
Bigger in rear is mostly about bite=better bite is faster take off. a +
Very little looks as foolish as small rear tires with V8.... { Rear tire should be at lest or more ,as big as could be had the year your V8 came out new. > not less. Talking wide = bite,,; but hight for higher speed too.

Seeing guys fail to understand the way of stuff,often is disappointing,when they seem to be car guys in other ways

 

My thoughts about taller rear tires is that they came from racing. Giving up some acceleration at the start for more speed at the end. I know that years ago, racing a limited sportsman, we had a set of tall rear tires for Friday night on the 1/2 mile and a set of short rears for Sat. night on the 3/8 mile.

 

Yep, better than changing gears if the class doesn't allow QC.

 

You're not alone, @ALLDONE
I wasn't sure I'd like it. But it's something that I've been thinking about and wondering about but hadn't seen any examples of. So I appreciate you bringing up the subject and sharing some pics.
I like it... for a number of reasons. And I'm pretty well versed as far as the "why fors". But I've actually never been a big fan of extra small tires on the front, even though I know they're considered to be standard hot rod fare. It turns me off when I see an extreme case of "big and littles". Seems totally unnecessary to me. A flawed design concept, even. Both aesthetically and functionally.
But it became popular. So now everybody thinks they have to do it.

 

I like the looks of that, but those front tires and an iron hemi, bet it drove like a dump truck.

 

17s and 18s

17s and 16s

16s and 18s

 

i like being different, Ilike throw'n stuff at the wall... sometimes it sticks...

 

all my cars have big n littles.... my vicky has 600& 750's
i like the look..

Everything I build has the same size tires on all 4 corners.
