    Did a search and didn't really find what I needed, so any of you guys got pics of a 57 chev on tall whites. Just trying to get an idea before I spend the $$ and the time. I've got a half ass pic maybe someone could photoshop, thanks guys.

    I don't think that whitewalls will match your bling bling wheels. Are you planning on losing those as well?

    I would have to agree. If ya go whitewalls ya gotta lose the rims.

    Here are some pics. They are of wagons but you get the idea.

    Ha........oh hell ya, losing those 17's. That's halarious. Thanks guys, what size tire combo are you guys running, Iwas thinking maybe 215 70's up front on a 6 inch and not sure about the rear, ??7in or 8in?? and tire size. Thanks guys and looking wicked, I like the look.

    It all depends on what type of wheel you're going to use. The stock hubcaps are 14", so if you want to use those, you either have to run a 14" wheel or weld your caps to a set of 15" trim rings.

    Chromed steelies would look nice on there, or any number of 5 spoke wheels. Tire size is going to be dictated by the style of wheels you pick out.

    Cokeman,

    Can I suggest running WWW tires w/ black steel rims, narrow trim rings, and chrome lugnuts (not the acorn "muscle car" ones though)?

    Here are some Tri-Fives that I like....

    I think that first hardtop would look killer with chrome steel wheels and black tires. :cool:

    Whitewalls will look good too. Interesting that you see more '55-56 Chevys done "traditional" while the '57s get the bling bling treatment.

    I agree, chrome reversed with blackwall bias plys would look great. And lose the window tint...
