Hot Rods WIDE Rear, SKINNY Front

Here are a few more examples. You can consider them as both good and not as good examples of spacing and location as well as tread designs and wheels.

 

Thats half the reason they are getting changed. There were no front brakes. lol

 

Im in michigan but i appreciate the offer!

 

Maybe a combination of both? lol

 

Look at the front tire on the coupe behind your truck in the first picture on post 34 and compare it to your front tire. You might try removing the rear tires from your rims. Then with a jack supporting the rear end, place the tires closer to the bed and see how they look. Maybe just narrowing the rear end will solve the rear end issue. Some people are going with larger rims (18") and tires and they seem to look good. Need lots od sidewall on whatever tire rim combo IMHO

 

We are not owned by Wheelsmith. I spent over 28 years with Wheelsmith. My dad and I are now separate.

 

15x5 and 16x12

 

Interesting. I also heard the rumor that American Rebel was absorbed by Wheel Smith. So is A.R. the same company I purchased my wheels from about five years ago? Still in the same location?
I have been very pleased with my A.R. wheels and receive compliments quite often on their appearance on my Cyclone. When I purchased them everyone I dealt with was great, and have recommend A.R. Wheels to others.

 

fronts are 15X4 ET's, 155R85 .............rears are 285-70R15s on old American 8.5X70 torque thrusts

 

Here is a '32 3 Window I sold last summer. 29x13.50 Hoosiers in the back and 145r15 in the front IIRC.

 

Firestone F-560 Fronts and 31-12.50 Yokohama Rears on a '32 Roadster I built in 2021.

 

Here is my Anglia I had over the Covid portion of 2020. This is a survivor from the g***er ages.

 

To me, this T in Speedway Motors Museum is the pinnacle of Wheel and Tire combo/size.
