Im gathering parts and will be ready to start tackling my chassis next week... Ive been looking for info on wheels and tires and need some help!!! Its a A coupe on 32 rails with a 354 Hemi ,a Muncie 4 speed and a 8"rearend... It will be a highboy with a chopped top. Im thinking about slicks on the rear,from Hurst ...now the questions... -Should I go 16 x 8 slicks on the rear and 15x5 on the front? or... -15 front and rear? ANd also if I go with Hurst slicks on the rear ...will it work to get Cokers or Firestone on front ?...(heard that they dont work together -capped radials vs bias ply) Im in Brazil and doesnt have any cars around to compare stances... Thanks for the help!!!
depends on how much you want to spend. 16`s are pricey and not too easily came across, 15 are everywhere and much more affordable. They will work together, but the handling caracteristics are completely different, radials are soft side wall and bias are hard side walls, bias out back rads up front if you do it.
