    Hi! I'm gonna use firestone bias ply 7.50*16 on my ford -35 16" wheels. The rims are 4" wide, and coker tire recommend 5-6". Does anyone use the same tire without having your rims made wider? Just wanna know before I make them wider, if it's necessary or if they will work just fine at 4". Thanks!

    My Model A coupster had 7.50 16 Firestones from Coker on 35 wires and it was fine. Pics in my albums on my profile page.
