Hot Rods 1931 Ford wheel and tire combo?

Looking to change up my wheel and tire combo on the coupe. Show pics and sizes of what you have.
Thanks

 

SMH: I think the wheels you have go perfectly with the style of your coupe. Tim

 

Thanks. Maybe I should just save my money. Put in somewhere else.

 

I could see you going with a narrower front tire, maybe a 165R15 if the wheel is 5". If you can find a 4" wheel run a 145R15. It'd fit "the look" a little better in my opinion. Wheels and rear tires are perfect.

This is my Tudor with a 15x5 and said 165R15 if it helps.

Good idea. Maybe stay with same rims and get smaller front tires.

 

agreed about the front tires needing to be a bit skinnier

 

Like the smaller front tire also.

 

Looks like my front rims are 7" and tires are 205/75r15.
Not sure how small I can go on these.

 

Go with narrower wheels, 5" at a minimum, preferrably 4". There are pairs for sale on here, 4" are usually more expensive because they're more desirable, but they won't break the bank.

For 165R15's plan on about $85 each mounted and balanced, 145's are more and they're tougher to get.

I really dont see anything to change. Skinnier front tire? Why? Fashion statement? Certainly not function...
The ching for a new set of 4 tires and wheels could probably be enough to cover a 6-71, if you shopped around for used stuff. Might not get you as much approval, but it would sure be a hell of a lot more fun...

 

Now I am getting talked out of it.LOL
I do need those nasty looking headers coated could put some money toward that.

 

Why? Because narrow front tires are traditional. Silly, huh?

SMH, please follow YOUR heart. If you ask ANYTHING on this board you'll get a million different answers and it typically only confuses the original poster more.

I think the car would have a more sinister look with narrower tires. However it has a late 60's early 70's vibe going on, and if that's what you're shooting for keep the wider tires. Black button tuft interior and a wooden steering wheel would seal the deal!

Ultimately, do what makes YOU happy but seems most guys here would prefer to see a narrow tire up front.

Actually, 4" TQ front runners are not really "traditional", thats a modern thing. If you go back and look at pics from the sixties, almost all street-driven hot rods that ran torquethrusts on the front ran 6" front rims with 5.60 or 6.00x15s stretched over them.
