The Mother Of All Tire Threads!!!!

Thanks man

 

145/15 front, 275/16 rear. Customs look cool dragin' their tail, but a hot rod's gotta have it's nose in the weeds.

 

Sears G78-15 - got one still in the plastic that was supposed to be the spare.

 

Everytime I see this ride my pants get wet!!!

 

6.40x15 Coker BFG Silvertowns on 6-inch TTs, 30x10x15 Hursts with cheater grooves on 8.5-inch TTs.

 

Firestone Cokers, 600-650/18 Fronts and 8.20/18 rears.

 

I went to another So Cal show a little earlier, and saw Grabowski's car (still black) and Ivo's displayed end to end. I agree that they set the standard which has been rarely equalled.

 

Rears: 235-75-15 & 15X7 rims

Fronts: 205-70-15 (thinking about going smaller) & 15X5 rims

 

15x5.5 factory steelies w 205/75/15 front and 235/75//15 rear later,Bill

 

WOW !!! That car is awsome........ 1: to 1: scale Revell kit. My sister bought me that kit when I was a kid, man that kit was too much for a nine year old to build, after two days it ended up back in the box never to be seen again.

 

Bttt.

 

Thanks CK. I have the orginal still-in-cellophane '64 Revell '55 model and I put it on the tranny hump when I show the car. That model box art (see my avatar) has got to be among the coolest ever!

 

Black steel wheels with wide whites = timeless cool.

 

Awesome. Your 55 is perfect. Looks like it came right out of a 1966 Rod and Custom.

 

600/16 front and 700/16 rear

 

uncapped? no good any reason why?

 

205-75-15 Radial www's

 

Exactly!

Thanks!

 

165/80R15 187T front on Americans of unknown width. Rears are 28x11.50-15LT Hoosier QT Pro's on 8"x15 with 4.5" back space. I had to relocate the springs and wheel wells to even with the frame and flatten the wheel well lip for them to fit and add rear wheel spacers. I can run 295-60D-15 Hoosier QT DOT's on 8"x15 American slots with 3'5" back space without the spacers.

 

5.25 Firestone fronts, 7.50 Lesters in the back.

 

165-15 front
28.75 x 7.5 15 Hurst cheaters rear

 

26x7.5 Mickey Thompson Fronts on 15x5 Weld Draglites

rear are 33x22.50 Hoosiers on beadlocked 15x15 Weld Prostars

 

Youre running radials in the front an bias ply in the rear?

 

Nope... it doesn't snow in Modesto.

165-15 fronts, 285-70-15 rears

 

205/75-15 on 5" & 275/60-15 on 8".

 

Looks like it, works ok. It might be that the rears are 5 times as wide and have sticky racing compound? It ain't a road racer with a strait axle anyway.

 

I was always told to never mix the two, but I have seen some dragsters run bias bigs and radial littles, so I guess it works.

Nice lookin Caliente, btw. Great stance and perfect tire sizes.

 

16-600 Military NDTs
