Fenderless 26 Roadster P/U tires ?

Having a hell of a time trying to choose tires for my fenderless 26 Roadster pickup project.

I have a set of WV Smoothies in 15X5 and 15X8 with 41 ford caps and smooth trim rings.

Any suggestions on rubber ? Radials preferred I'm thinking.

Nankang 165 R15 for the front possibly ? Other ideas for front and rear ?

 

No One ???

 

225 or 235 70 15s on the rear, Dave

 

Fenderless cars need Bia Plys!!!

Here's a thread of tires....

.....L 78x15 rear...560s front... perfect 60s hot rod

 

I have 15 x 5 and 15 x 8 on my old truck. Fronts are 165r 15, I'll check the rear size tonight and post again. The Radials work great, Here we go again..... Gary

 

The 165 15s look good.

 

Just went out to the garage and checked the rear tire size. They are 265 75 15 Larado Radials. The tread is nice and car like, not 4 x 4ish, they are 30" tall with a section width of 10" on an 8" rim. Price was right and they look good. My 165r 15's are 25" tall. Good big and little combo. Gary

 

im running 640-15 in the front and 700-15 in the rear bias plys... No bed yet but you get the idea.

 

Here are a couple pictures for you. It might not be the style you are looking for.....it's totally up to you. Just trying to be helpful. Gary
