lowered shoebox tires

hey.. i finally got my spindles flipped and the car setting down niceley... but! i have g78-15's on it now... too big, i cant hardly turn... i think i found a good set of ford 14'' wheels, but i need to know if there is a good size white wall i can use? i may just put some small radials on it, im not sure... but i would like to know if any of you guys have a good tire reccommendation?

thanks

Its been 50 years, but I think I had a problem putting 14s on my 51. It also had flipped spindles and I used 57 Ford wheels. Maybe a later wheel may fit........OLDBEET

 

My 51 ford sedan had 14"x6 wheels on it. The tire size was like a F78 14. The tires meausured about 26.5 high. They fit with a spindle flip and 1 cut coil. There was a little rubbing. I still have the full set so i can get you the exact tire info. They are even for sale but i'm in Colorado!

Here they are mounted. I think this is with the flipped uprights....

 

I think that 14's on a shoebox seem a little small, but those F78's don't look bad. I plan to run 15's on my shoebox but now maybe not...

On the other hand, I have 14's on my '63 Ford with a 7.50 x 14 tire, and they look nice on the rim. Roughly a 2" ww.

 

I have flipped spindles and currently running 14 inch rims.... The Rims hit the control arm.... Stay with the 15's they clear

 

Hopefully he figured it out in the last six years huh.
