I know this has been asked a thousand times, and I apologize, but I searched way back, and didn't get the info I needed. I want to use steel wheels on my '40 Deluxe coupe, but I want more meat under the rear. I am going to buy a new set from WV, so what's the best combo? 16 rear, 15 front? How wide can I go on the rear? I'm staying with the factory bolt pattern. What's your advise?
7:60x15 rear, 5:60 or 5:90 x 15 fronts All whitewalls, red wheels thank you, thank you very much !! Just can't go wrong, IMO
The stock 16" wheels (4" wide). If you're building a hot rod 7.50-16 Firestones and 6.00-16 Firestones. If you're building a custom 6.00-16 Firestones front and back.
