Hey I'm a newbie

Yeah the guy I bought the wheels from didn't understand that 215 60s are smaller in diameter than 215 70s. I am going with 255/60s rear and 215/70s on front. Those tire sizes are .1 different in diameter, with the rear larger.

good idea Bob!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">good idea Bob! </div></div> I am not able to get the tires I want due to them being discontinued, so I am going to opt for the old faithful BF Goodrick Radial T/As. Either going with 215/65/15 front, 255/60/15, or same front and 295/50/15 rear. There is no difference in the tire diameters.

Hey Sam, I have a question?, what do you think would be a good color for the rims? They are grey as you can see, what is your opinion or anybody else that wants to chime in? I am going with original paint with some racing black racing stripes. I am all ears!

[Salvatore]

I like the original rallye wheel paint color Bob. Can't go wrong with that. how about BFG's at 215-70R/15 for the front and 235-70R/15 for the back? Do they make them in that combo?

I am going for that old school hotrod look from the 70's when I was in high school. I really want the 50's that was what we all had back then. I am really hesitant though due to the limited width of the rear rims. Chances are that I will opt for the 60's, they would be a better fitment for the rims. Besides a set of the 50s would be about 100 bux more and only get about 1 inch wider tire.

From what I have seen and spoke to buddy at work, the color for the rallye wheels is argent silver.

[Salvatore]

yep on the paint. I personally am not crazy about the 50 series. To low profile for me. L60's I like for the rear. call Don White, He will have the tires to suit your tastes. Don:267-246-6903. He has many combos of vintage nylon thumpers and radials for your application.

[TexasNova]

Yeah I agree, the 50 series tires today are way too low profile, back in high school we just had like A-Z, then the series, and then rim size. Now its all technical
