Tall Tires

I'm looking for pics and infos about fenderless hot rods & especialy modified with tall tires, wire or solid wheels, 17 & 18 inches.
If you have tire size infos with the pics, it's even better !
thanks !
I will maybe run some on my modified project, I have some french 17'' wire wheels and also some big solid 17" and 18" with 5x5,5 bolt pattern.
About my project, you can check this thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99260&&showall=1

 

Hey Etienne, What is that headlight from, my guess is Simca ??

 

I have a pair of 6.00/6.50-18 Firestones on Astro van spare saver wheels (18x4 5-5 bolt pattern) on the rear of my A project. I originally had them on my T-bucket. Almost 31 in. tall. Since I'm at work, I don't have any pics right now.

 

I can be patient

the headlights are Citroen Traction, with a cool art deco metal peak...

 

bttt

 

what about that 34 pick up built by Jimmy Shine?

 

and also this one:
The Rick and Roy custom wheels started as ’33 Oldsmobile centers before they were welded in new 17x4.5- and 18x6-inch hoops. Adding the Moon discs when the mood strikes can change the entire look of the pickup. Firestone wide whites (6.00/6.50-17 and 7.00-18) from Coker provide some rubber rake.

 

and this one

4.50x19 Excelsiors and 7.50x19 Firestones

 

Firestone doesn't have a 7:50x19 tire. Their largest 19" tire is a 7:00x19 and it's 32.75" tall. Their tallest 18" tire is a 7:00x18 and it's 31.12" tall. Their tallest 17" tire is a 7:00x17 and it's 30.70" tall. Here's my car with a 7:50x16" Firestone and it's 31.48" tall...Excelsior's tallest 19" is a 7:00x19 and it's 32.78" tall.Their 18" tire is a 7:00x18 and it's 31.72" tall and their tallest 17" is a 700/750x17 and it's 32.00" tall..I hope this helps. I researched the hell out of tires before I found the combination I liked......Mike

 

Not to go too OT, but what kind of lugnuts does that wheel use? I bought some 19" wheels that have giant lugnut holes just like that.

Thanks.

 

I don't have the good lug nuts now, the one I tried was too small (almost the hole size).
I don't have started to find something, but will soon.

 

Keep on searching wheels from late 20´s Fiats or Chryslers. They both are huge... Or space savers from new SUV´s.

 

Big lug nut holes huh ? Chances are the wheels had a second life under a farm trailer. Farm trailers very often have the old Ford bolt pattern but with larger bolts. That,s why the holes have been enlarged.

 

no, the holes haven't been enlarged.
I will try to check how are the original lug nuts for those cars.
But will certainly not work with the ford lugs...Big headheaches coming soon

 

Here's our Bonneville sedan, it has 18 inch steel wheels on the back made by Stockton wheel (long wait), the tires are 32 inch tall dunlops.

 

NICE !
