Thanks... now to go to the opposite side of that spectrum... assuming i have an 8" rim, what is the skinniest tire i can mount on it? I'm thinking of some tall WWW bias plys with as much sidewall height as i can get... from what i can tell, a L78 bias ply is the biggest 15" WWW you can get, but not sure if i need to go that big or not. Looking to give the car a traditional look..something like this:

Try Coker Tire and see if they list that information.

I've looked at their site a zillion times, what sucks is that they use the same photos for every size tire they make in a particular model, so you can't see what they "really" look like, just a generalized photo of "sorta" what you'd get if you ordered them... the pic for a 560-15 is the same as the pic of a 640-15, a pic of a tire with a 5" whitewall is the same as the one shown for a 4" whitewall, so really, its worthless for trying to match up a tire from photos. The specs listed help some, but its still tough to just "pick one" that will look the best based on some overall specs. Thats why i'd love to find someone with a car that already has the ideal combo on it and verify exactly what that combo is... I've found several cars I'd consider "perfect", but have no contact info for the owners. I can't wait to get out to some real rod runs where i can actually look at cars close up, meet owners, and do something without basing the whole thing from internet photos and guessing... Its funny, but thats how I've done every single change I've made to my car so far... I just realized I spent almost 3 grand installing a top on my roadster and never actually ever saw one in real life, just a bunch of photos on the internet... I've got lucky so far, but before i shell out more cake for new tires and/or wheels, I think I better look at some real cars.
