Hot Rods Tire size fendered model A's

Show pics and your tire size please. I'm building a sedan and the tires I have on the rear are just to small.

 

I bought 7.50 x 16 rears for my 29 roadster.

 

235/75-15 on 15x8 wheels on the rear, 145 SR-15 on 15x6 front

 

7.50 x 16 x 4.5 here

 

Although not a sedan, I'm thinking about gong up a size on my model a rear tires also.

 

145 X 15 front 275-65 X 16 rear.


You're right about the small tire on the rear. You gotta' fill up a Model A rear fender.

 

5.50x16 up front, 7.50x16 rear.

 

your a would look cooler with fish headlights

 

Perfect, that is what I was looking for. I already have those for the front so I will order new rears.

 

5.50, frount 750. Rears, look soo good....

 

These are 255/75R BFGs - I know some of you 'purists' eschew radials, but I've been building hot rods since 58, so I can do what I like.

In my mind - this is how tires should sit inside A and 32 Fenders - whether they're bias-ply or radials

 

Just went and checked - those are 285s - not 255s

Same size as Chris, but blackwalls and the rears are Michelin they are about an inch and a bit bigger in the overall circumference

 

how tall are the 750s?

 

195/75/14 up front, 235/75/15 in rear.

 

o/t alittle but chris`s coupe is totally cool.

 

185/75R14 up front under cycle fenders,225/70R15 rear under full fenders. I would've gone bigger in the rear on the coupe, but at the time I bought the tires, PA required the entire tread width to be under the fender and this was the biggest size that would fit.

 

Fronts 6.00-16 rears 750.16 car has not been lowered.

 

Your car was a huge insperation when I did mine.

 

235 X 75 X 15 Rears

195 X 55 X 14 Fronts

 

Rear 750X16 Front 550X16.

 

Front:
165R/80-15
4 ½" tread width
25" tall
5" x 15" wheel


Rear:
P235/75R-15
6" tread width
28" tall
6" x 15" wheel



Interesting how the 235 is the tire size for many.
Gears the car up about right and fills out the fender well nicely.



Cycle fenders go up front later on.

 

Is like to see some more of these. There were hardly any fendered A's on the mother of all tire thread
