Wheel and Tire combo

Can anyone tell me what wheel and tire size seems to be on this car?

I am trying to replicate this stance/set up for my car.

I know this is a shot in the dark, but thanks anyways.

 

I'd say 5.00x16 and 7.50x16 Firestones. Maybe the fronts are the 4.50/4.75x16, but hard to tell from this angle.

 

Thanks, I was trying to scale the picture but from that angle it did not work.

 

Nice Roadster...............would look a thousand times better with either black walls or body color wheels with the WWW's though. The WWW's with white wheels looks weird.

 

I can't find those wheels in 16 inch. All I can find is 15's online.

 

did you check Wheelsmith in Santa Ana Calif?

 

Yes all they list on the website is 15"

 

..appear to me like 17" chevy, or 16" or 17 " Plymouth wheels

 

Those are 16" aftermarket wheels for fords. Made by Budd

 

The wheels are a rare aftermarket steel replacement wheel for the wire wheeled cars. I've got a single, and it has a mounting surface with space for the early Ford hub nubs. You are not gonna find new wheels exactly like that.

Size of the wheels is 16x4 or 4.5.

 

Ok, then for now I'll just get the regular steel 16" with the recommended tire size. That way I can get the chassis geometry set up.

 

Thats a shot of my roadster out on the salt. Tires are 5.00-16 Firestones in front and 7.50-16 BF Goodrich in back. Wheels are Kelsey Hayes aftermarket for Ford.

Here's another shot with some blackwalls.

 

This set up is on 16" gennei wheels and firestone dirt track tires. I love this look. So I bought them from him. Good luck!

Damn Nimrod,

I spend all day thinking about your car. I saw it in a book and that is kind of what started this whole hot rod mess for me. (that and metalshapes)

Thanks for the reply! I'll have to shoot you some more questions on IM.

 

Hey Nimrod, Got anymore pics of your car? I love it!!! Bill

 

Here's a shot with another wheel tire combo...and lots of dirt.

 

Great car, looks awesome with the caps and rings.

 

Damn Nimrod..............that's just perfect! I want one just like it. Love your garage shots over on the Garage Journal too.

 

Wow... Tell us more, please! Tire sizes on the last photo posted? Windshield by?? Sellers?? or??


Thanks!

I think those are white washed cream colored wheels. Bleached out from the reflection off the salt.

The later pics with black walls or the solids with white walls look sweeeeet!!
