    There was a post a couple years ago with guys posting pics of their cars with tire and wheel sizes...I've been all over this site and cant locate it...anyone remember this post? Im wanting highboy/lowboys pics as Im thinking of changing to Radial/bias plys for the look for this car. these wheels are 15s. 3A6C30DE-EA40-4C4A-9508-F386F1F1166E.jpeg

    Right there, you nailed it. Why change anything?

    These are original Ford 16" wheels with 5.50 and 7.50 Firestone Bias Ply's.

    He is the second poster showing his example, not the Original poster asking the question.
    If I could afford it I'd have the set of bias tires like Dirty Doug showed and keep the radials for those serious road trips to spots where having the "perfect look" might not be a big issue.
