    Contemplating running 7.50-16 on a gennie rim in the rear of my 32 or a 7.50-18 on a gennie. Anyone have pics to see the comparison? Not having much luck seeing 7.50-18 pics.

    Nice. How tall are the 7.50-18s? Two inches taller than 7.50-16s? Or doesn't it work quite like that?

    I personally run a 7.00x18 Firestone on the rear of my '32. They measure about 32.75" tall. I have had good luck with the traditional Firestones from Coker.

    I love my 7.50x16's. I need to get the 5.50's to get rid of the eyesore tires up front. :rolleyes:

    7.50-18 deluxe champions and way to small of a size on the front. I think they're 4.50-16
