Hot Rods Whitewall size on 46 Ford

Putting 235 75 15 and 205 75 15 tires on my car. Was thinking of having whitewalls the same size 2 3/4 inch or should I go with the 3 inch and 2 1/2 inch standard size?

I'd go with the widest whitewall available for each tire size.

 

Bigger WW in the back, I like them to be proportionate to the side wall size. I just did similar tire sizes and went 3.25" rear and 2.25" WW's up front.

 

On your old Ford, bigger is better. Mine in my avatar are 3 1/2"...

 

I have B. F. Goodrich wide white's on my '46 "Woodie" 2.5" in front and 3" in the rear.

 

I've always liked whitewalls until I got a car that they would be appropriate on.
Now I think whitewalls go best with tommy guns and pinstripe suits.
Right now I'm digging black walls, black wheels and some kind if chrome moon on a 40s car. (like 95% of the cars ran back then)

 

Thanks I like the look!
