Technical How about a all encompassing thread on wheels & tires?

Hear me out, I get conversations all the time asking me what size wheels & tires did I have on my '32 sedan, or on Brenda's '54 Ranch Wagon.

I still get a lot of questions about my choice of wheels and tires on my old deuce pickup.

My thought is to post a photo of your car or truck with the width & size wheel and the size of the tires, both front and rear, this could be a big help if a member is building a car similar ant wondering what will fit.

I'll start off with the 32 pickup, it's the one I get the most request for.



The wheels are 5" x 15" with Coker bias ply 560-15 front & 6" x 15" with Coker bias ply L78-15 on the rear.

 

Next is the '54 Ranch Wagon.


The front wheels are 6" x 15" with Coker 15/70R15 radial wide whites & the rear are 7" x 15" with Coker 225/70R15 radial wide whites.

 

1932 Ford sedan.


6" x 15" with 195/70R15 front radials and 8" x 15'' with 225/70R15 rear radials

I did alter the rear inner fender wells to accommodate the width of the rear tires.

 

I got wheels but I was told there would be no math today!

 

600 16 front, 750 16 Rear, Firestone bias from Coker stock wide 5’s under stainless repro caps

 

500/525 16 front, 750 16 rear Coker Firestones stock 16x4.5” wheels with 46 Mercury caps

 

205/65R15 front
225/75R15 rear
Hankook tires

 

Front 15"x7" Torque Thrust TTO 215/70/15" Mastercraft Avenger tires
Rear 15" x8.5" Torque Thrust TTO 275/60/15" Mastercraft Avenger tires

 

Front 15" x 6 1/2", Rear 15" x 7" Dodge truck wheels, Hankock 225 R 75 tires all around.

 

Cool thread

 

15" x 6" Radir's w/6.70 x 15 BF Goodrich Silvertown bias ply in front.
15" x 10" Radir's w/ 28.00 x 12.50 M/T Sportsman Pro in the rear. (Soon to be replaced w/Towelcity or Radir Pie Crust slick's)

 

7.50-18 Lesters on super rare 18" wood spoke artillery wheels...

 

Nice car Larry but you omitted the size of the wheels & tires. HRP

 

Only question I ever get on my hotrods is what size are your cheater slicks, and are they DOT approved? Both have 9"x15" pie crust slicks, and they seem to be the center of questions. Even more than what engines are in my cars!

 

I have 7.00 16s on the rear and 6.00 16s on the front of my 39 Sedan. 5" commercial rears, 3 ½" V8 60 fronts. 4" dropped axle and stock spring shackles. Fairly well covered in my build thread.

That car sits right and looksn great. HRP

 

Danny, this is a great idea for a thread, I know I have looked at a car and thought how good the wheels and tires looked and have sent a pm to the owner of the car asking the same questions,

 

Fronts: 205/70-15 on 15x6 Americans.
Rears: 255/60-15 on 15x7 Americans.

 

My old 1950 Ford coupe had 15" x 6" Americans with 235 R 15's on the rear and 205 R 15's on the front/ the car had a Maverick rear axle. HRP

 

16x6 40 Ford wheels. Rear tires 7.50/16, fronts 4.50/16

 

I used BFG's for years until they got out of my price range. Been using Cooper and Mastercraft the last 5-6 years, have gotten good service out of them.

I edited my sizes a bit, front tires are 215/70/15, rear wheels are actually 8.5" x 15". Case of foggy memory....

 

Excellent idea for a thread HRP. This could help a lot of people.
