49-54 chevy pics with radial and bias whitewalls

Okay since I have 4 beater non matching rims or tires, I figure it's about time to get a set of nice tires and rims. I think I am going to run stock style steel powder coated rims, beauty rings and spider caps.

Anyone got pics of their chevy with radial whites? or pics with a set of 6.70 bias? would g-78's be too big for the 54?

Thanks for your help in advance.

"Search" is your friend.

Every week there's a "show me your 49-54" Chevy" thread...

 

BTW: running Coker WWW on mine. Wheels are 15" from Wheelsmith and caps are original 54 Bel Air but with a chrome bullet in place of the crest.

 

i tried a search........those cokers look good.

 

670 15s 3 3/4 inch whitewall bought em from lucas tires 570 shipped one wouldnt balance, so they sent another within 2 days, good company.

 

eddie-i think if i run bias that will be the size. nice.

 

here's mine 6.70 firestone

 

6.70 Firestone, too

Eddie,what tire is that exactly ? Brand etc.A couple more pics would be cool.

Please post a couple more pics of that tire ! A dead on profile shot would be very appreciated !

Here's a pic of mine with 6:70 Coker bias ply's on stock rims with spiders.

 

Heres my old 54 with Radials.
If I could do it over I wouldve gone with the bias ply's without a doubt.

 

thanks guys! This will help me most definately. I think as far as bias goes I will run 6.70's they look perfect. I am still contemplating radials............bias plys just fit that shit though!

I ran 6.70 x 15 Goodyears with a whopping 4 1/4 Wide white.....Closest thing to having a "G" series tire without rubbing. Very nice ride!

 

Just for reference, heres a 51 Hardtop I had, with 205-75-15 Diamondback radial www's.

But I bought 6.70-15 Firestone bias for the current 51 hardtop I'm doing, just cause I plan to sell when done.

 

those are huge whites!

 

Technically its not a Chevy, but a canadian pontiac... i run Diamond back Classics, 195/75/14's all around.

 

nice.

 

I've got 640-15 BFG's from Coker on mine.

 

nothing like a brand new bias ply.

 

here's mine, G78s. they feel kinda big so i'll probably run something smaller when its time for some new ones

Anymore pics of this build or before/after?

 

how much did those set you back after shipping?

 

I take it you made your own whites? Or do they actually offer those?

 

id put ww on my mini van i love em found them on e-bay after looking here of course any way got them for 310 counting shipping and all .
