    I can't decide between 650x16 or 700x16 rear tires on my post war '32 roadster build. Any ideas or pictures would help. Thanks.
     
  2. I think you need at least 700's Here is my roadster with 7:00 16" on the rear. My Coupe has 7:50's 16" on the rear. This all depends on your car setup. I would never go less than 7:00's

    Here is a picture of my old sedan with 6.50 on the rear. You can see the difference in all 3 sizes between mine and CT1932Ford.

    If it is an open wheel build 7.50 is your number.
     
  7. 700's or 750's would be my thought. HRP
