    I was wondering if that size tire will fit under the rear of my 38 Ford...and if they will what rim width would be the best to run them on??? The tires i have are brand new and still wrapped up in their plastic covering but they seemed to be kinda tall...maybe it is just an optical illusion

    I got 'em on my '29 A roadster....I have them mounted on 15x6 rims and they look good...tried them on 15x8 rims for the rear at first and there was no way....looked like balloons.

    Great looking '40! Pretending not to notice the rest of the cool stuff in your garage.
