16" tire options...

thin or wide whitewall. i know the usuals - Coker, BFG and Diamond back... but is it safe to say that pretty much any cheap 16" tire can be had with a thin whitewall?

looking at new options for my Nova. i'm thinking 16x7 or 16x8" Gennies or Smoothie steel wheels. trying to get up on my whitewall tire options before i buy another set of wheels i cant afford tires for.

thanks

 

You are talking about a NOVA, Chevy II NOVA, right?

No 16s on late model stuff, bitte.

 

Never, I mean never put wide whites on a '60s car, let alone on a econo box.

 

Your Nova looks great the way it is!

 

15's are cheaper and provide many more choices, both wheels and tires. pigpen

 

yeah? Malcolm's looks good...

 

These are 16"s. This design was first made in '61 and released on imperials/ caddilac's, etc. Some had triple WW's- but most all were thinner than mine.Like 5/16".

 

love em! look like the Shinko double white stripe rear tire on my bike.

 

i tend to think that this sidewall design has some interesting applications, if for no other reason than that it looks like a "rally" stripe popular in the 60's..

 

What tires are these? I'm looking for some 16's for my non-hamb friendly shop truck.
