    Hi so I have 16" wheel for me 31 ford and I am runnin 7.50s out back and cant decide on what to do up front. I am either going to go 6.00x16 or 4.50/4.75x16. Does any one happen to have any pictures of those two tire sizes?

    Thanks.

    Yeah I can't afford wheels and tires right now. I found what tire sizes I want and I'm going to cut out the diameters on a piece of ply wood and set the frame up that way...unless I win the lottery or get brave enough to rob a bank :rolleyes:

    6.50 X 16 Front and 7.00 X 16 Rear, gona bump up to 7.50 in the rear.
    I love the way the skinny 16's look. Good choice!

    Yeah i hear ya, they are expensive! I am just going to run the 16" wheels that came on my car. I have seen a couple of builds where ppl cut out the correct diameter they want in plywood and it seemed to work pretty darn good.

    I wouldnt mind getting 550-16 but i ordered the 750-16 firestone black wall and the tread patteren is different on the 550-16, it almost looks like a modern tread pattern IMO.
