Hot Rods HIGHBOY REAR TIRE SIZES

Right there with ya!

 

but wait.... there's more...

 

10 inch rim???

 

Affirmative
Now, what's the backspace?

 

6.5

 

any more pics showing the side wall....

 

Classic look!!

 

thanks, those look good... I have some 10's and was wondering about the 14.00... oh and what was the back space?

 

I run 8.20's also on my 15's

 

I don't recall the exact backspace, it may be around 7 inches, they are a welded two-piece custom wheel, I spec'd them with a shallow front side to be able to tighten/loosen the knockoff tri-bar without scarring the wheel with the K.O. hammer.
Believe it or not, the rearend housing hasn't been narrowed, I actually had to add about 2 inches to one side when the new ends were put on.

You are welcome to come over and measure them.............bring a tape measure, I had my neck and shoulder blade injected with cortisone yesterday.

 

I'm still in recovery from wrist, elbow and shoulder surgery... so not much I can do... but i sure stay busy..sitting in the bar drinking cold beer sure seems better than what I'm doing...

any way.... what did the rear end end up @.. mounting to mounting surface..

did you get the tires at the sale price...I got the cheater slicks almost a grand off for the set...and I see the 14'' wide dirt tires for like 250 each...reg 700??

 

Who knows.........again, bring tape measure!
I bought the Firestones over twenty years ago, they are real dirt tires (2 ply), the series after the double diamond style repros that Coker makes.

 

the guy that fuels my jet is out sick,.. so not to day

 

20 year old tires are for static display only

 

what about if you run with scissors and don't wear seat belts??? or condoms

 

i had to look it up, learned something

lacking in movement, action, or change, especially in an undesirable or uninteresting way: had a girl friend like that...

 

Yep, see post #41.

 

Now we know why she is gone

 

Scissors and Condoms ????

 

run with one and from the other

 

Basically 31” tall or even a little taller.

 

I can't tell what size tires they had but when the tire size looks right it just flat looks right as on both of these. Looking through my 2019 Deuce Days NW photos there are plenty that just don't look right being either too small of diameter or too large diameter .

 

Had slicks on for the build. Got smart and put on new Towel City Cheaters.

 

I had a hell of a time try'n to get the right look I wanted on this roadster..the rear was too wide for the look I wanted .. 32's need about a 56'' wide rear and this car it was close to 60'' so the mounting surface is out 2'' too far on each side.. had to go to a wider rim then I wanted to get enough back space... and then add a bigger tire (wider then I wanted... wore out a set of lug nuts swapping back and forth....ended up with 10.00 15' cheater slicks. the first pic shows the 7.50 15's just about 2 or 3'' out too far so started over.. the last pic is with 16 x 8'' with 5'' back space..
