L78-15"s

I finaly found a pair of 50 merc rims so I made the move to L78's on the T. I had 16 X 4.5 ford truck rims with 6.50 X 16 4 inch wide whites before. I like the new look of a bigger tire back there, now to find a couple more trim rings.

Nice lookin' T! Who did you get the L78's from and what tire/wheel size you running up front?

 

The L78's are Coker cl***ics bought them through Universal Tire since Coker didn't come to the Dunkirk,Ny swapmeet last weekend. The fronts are 5.60 X 15's Coker cl***ics on a 50 chevy rim 15 X 5.

 

looks better bro. i have them on my roadster and run them at 26psi for a softer ride

 

Nice change Phil.
I ran the L78's on both my old truck and 32. They are a natural out back with 15" rims..
The T looks perfect with 'em.

Tony what rim width did you have on the truck ? Last time I was behind Mike they looked wider, figured it must be a wider rim.

 

15x8 on both the truck and coupe. I liked the way the tire filled out with the wider rim.

 

Well these are only 5 1/2, now I see...lol

 

That is one bad *** ride. Very cool.

 

Yeah but they do fit the look of that car real well. I'd leave em.

 

yep ^^^^^

 

Yeah I'm done with tires, gotta get another bullet and trim ring and that'll be that. I'm still thinking about that model A shell for up front but I think the radiator might be a bit tall for it.

 

That looks slick with the bigger tires on the back. I like the idea of swapping the A grill shell on it if you can figure out how to make it look right.

 

no doubt, the L's look much better........

 

Yeah that's the problem, I can only lower the radiator about an inch because it's right over the pitman arm. If the top of the radiator isn't below the cowl then I won't change it, the system works good now running 180-190 all day long.

 

hey man, that's probaly the best lookin T i've ever seen!

 

Definately looks much better.

 

thanks man, there are a lot of great looking T's out there though
