Hot Rods No Bigs-n-Littles Here...Lets See Some Same Size Tires On Hot Rods

Same size all the way around works every once in a while on a hotrod. Most of the time it makes the car look like Roger Rabbit should be driving it.

 

BINGO!! Does any one know the tire size on that (assuming you are talking about the golden submarine)

 

hee is a pic of my car with "ALL the same size" . you can see why we use "big & littles" . got to fill the well !! .. thx .. steve

 

I like this one:

 

600x16's all around

 

These are the same size....

Smoooooth!!

Guys,

Thanks for all the replies. I kinda figured it was a matter of time before the pics begin to show up. The cars posted are what I was thinking. I personally love the look.

Old model-l kit I saw on Ebay. I want to build someday something similar.

 

I think speedsters can really pull it off.

 

Geez.............what a waste of machinery.....

 

oh jeffrey james...

you will never know how much I love you.

 

Back up? Maybe some other views out there.

Very occasionally someone gets it "just right" - not very often in my opinion. Most of the pics of "same size" tire combos I've seen in this string seem to me to either have fronts that are too big, or rears that are too small.

I'm a big & little guy, but to each his own.

 

Hey, it looks good on these kinda cars, too!!! But ifn the left front is smaller you could really get that "I'm gonna eat your ass up in the next left" look. Gary

 

Here you go Ron-A-Booby!







Looks like the tires are a pretty similar size



I can't help but to think that this guy looks like you Ron so I included anyways.

 

6.00-16's on all corners:

 

This car has it all.

Not sure if the tires are exactly the same size....but really close.

 

Very nice!

Here is Tom Culbertson's 31 coupe, built in 1991 just the way you see it. First hot rod and first car i've driven when i was 14 years old, cool car.

 

When I first put my truck together, I did the big and littles. But one time I had to put the bigs on the front, dont remember why, and it looked good. So I ended up getting more bigs for it. I am a fan of both. I prefer bigs on my truck, but BNL's have a place too. I'm torn in the middle on what is better. I'll run them both. Excuse the old pic, and chrome wheels.

 

Maybe same DIAMETER front and rear, but skinnyer for the front and fatter for the rear...

 

600 front, 650 rear pretty close to the same.

 

No, it doesn't.. the fronts are waaay too big.

 

Take ANY of these cars shown with the same size tires and split the difference... slightly smaller for the front and taller for the rear and every one of them will look better... every one.... except for the dragging dog's ass ones that are too low to begin with...

Hot rods have rake. It was about gear ratios and more speed and it was born out of necessity.

And if they ARE the same height, then the rears should at least be wider or knobby for better traction...

 

One of the Great Race entrants in a group of "racers" that stopped in town last summer.

 

Sports cars, race cars, street rods...

 

that Nash PU is also the first car that came to my mind when I read "same size tires..." two more pics of it, great car.
