tires and wheels

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne; a good selection of anything 14" is hard to
come by these days, and you will pay more than 15". I
think it's because the only ones going for custom 14"
are resto rods and restorers. So people think there is
a captive audience out there. Plus 15 inch wheels fill
up the fenders so much better.
On my 68 Ambo hdtp I had 15x7 wheels with a lot of
reverse. The tires were 2.35/75 and I never had any
problem with bumps, tight turns, etc. They looked nice
and the car seemed to ride better on these tires than
the "puny" 2.25/60-14. Those 225s are now on my
American and they look good on the small body, though
I ran 2.05-15s for awhile on the car and they looked
just as nice.
Funny how wide 14s were the thing back in the day and
they look so dated now.
Just stay away from those rubber bands stretched over
17inch wheels, the rides horrible on those......Russ
