Projects 33 3 window coupe

Need some help. Thinking about changes tire out. Should I leave as is, or go to black walls. Don't want anything super wide in back. Thinking excelsior radials, or similar. Thoughts/help much appreciated. Don"t pay attention to hood misalignment, reworking hood hold downs and trying to decide if I'm going to put hood back on. Been running it like this for a few years.

Post the center shot on the photoshop thread and have them get rid of the whitewalls to see if you like it.

 

All black tires is my vote! Beautiful car

 

Yes, BLACK WALL TIRES! it will completely change the character of the car. I think '33's were Ford's high water mark.

Black walls, never been a fan of wide whites.

 

I think the only change you should make is location...from your house to mine

 

I think it looks great in White Walls.

 

If that was my car I would want whitewall tires on it. The red is a great color but it really comes to life with the white on the tires I think.

 

My vote is for black walls too.

 

White walls, please.

 

Just take six inches out of the roof and no one will care about the tires! nice car whatever you do!

The Excelsior Radial looks a little Race/Dirt Track...the Auburn Radial by Diamond back better mimics your current Piecrusts...Coker has a Bias look Radial as well but it's not a Piecrust knockoff...I'm sure someone will gladly take those off your hands...sorry you're switching out the past in a way...

 

Maybe just change the wheel color to black?

 

BTM black tires matter

 

White walls with tall wires.
Really nice car.
I’d have fenders on it in a heartbeat.

 

I'd put together another set-up wheel/tire

 

Thanks for the help everyone. I took the advice of J. A. Miller and posted on the photoshop thread. excited to see what it might look like with the black walls.

 

I thought about that too. Will mock up and see how it looks.
Thanks.

 

Put whitewalls on one side and blackwalls on the other side. That way everyone is happy. You can't see both sides of the car at the same time anyway. I'd be surprised if anyone even notices.

If I owned your car, I would put fenders back on it and leave the top unchopped, or leave the fenders off and chop the top. Blackwall tires with Halibrands, ET III's or early Torque Thrusts in either livery.

 

Black rims for now. It will break up the red overload
Drive it that way for a season then decide

 

Thanks to The Moose for his help over on the photoshop thread. Totally different vibe. Now just need a slightly taller rear tire.

 

My choice for you is to the left. Rears= 285/70R15's, front 195/50R15's

 

keep the whites and go to chrome steel wheels.no caps

 

White walls with no other changes. Keep it the way it is.

 

White walls.

 

Black Tires and maybe a little taller in the rear. Love the car.

 

well....I think it needs a set of American Torque thrust wheels with black tires but even if you were driving a 49 Packard I'd vote for Americans...jus me.

 

How about a set up like this 145 x 15 (24" tall) front on a 5" wheel and 235 85 x 16 ( 31" tall ) on a 16 x 7 wheel. Total different look from the Halibrands it had on it

 

Buy another set of wheels with black walls. I could not decide on my ride so I have 2 sets. 1 x red wheels with white walls and 1 x black wheels with black walls. All tyres American Classic radials - bias ply look. Glen
