    Ready to mount tires and wheels on my finished chassis. Not sure just what "look" I'm looking for. Lets see some of your choices. Give the tire/wheel/rim sizes.

  23. 6.00x16's on my buddy's black 3 window, 5.50x16s and 7.00x16's on my other buddy's '35 3 window, and an early version of my 5 window with 6.00x16 whitewalls. As you can see, stance makes as much of a difference as tires do.

    Black walls do give a different look all together. Almost have to have W.W.W. on the customs. I'm going more Hot Rod....Tire size ?? Tough decision, 15" or 16"...HMMMM
