    I've been keeping an eye out for decently priced www tires in the Reno area and they're few and far between to say the least. I found a set of 4 Firestone 820-15's for sale today and was wondering if these would fit or if it'd be a waste of time. Can anyone with experience with this tire size as a matched set give me any advice on these please?

    I'll be having the artillery wheels made down the line with custom backspacing to make everything tuck the best I can, but I'm not looking for s tire that looks funny. Any feedback would be awesome. I attached a pic of my car as a reference. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1470288941.691854.jpg

    Thanks! chris

    They would be a nice size tire on the rear, but if you put them on the front it will look like a 4x4 with whitewalls.

    My 48 Ford with 8.20 on the back. Your car wouldn't look much different. Its was the thing to do in the '50s. Actually mine is lowered a little in back with reversed rims but yours will kook kool with them on it just as it is.
