Thanks guys... gives me a good idea of what it would look like... Although the blackwalls would be tall skinny bias plies with "piecrust" corners...O'm thinking of buying a second set of wheels/bias tires, and am very undecided as to what sizes to go with... I'm thinking the black wheels and blackwall tires would give me the option of a much different look...I love my red wheels and whitewalls, but black on black has a cool look to it too.Joe Barr

I'm considering several wheel/tire options... would love some input/ideas from anyone as far as sizing goes. Not looking to start a bias vs. radial debate, as i plan to keep the complete set of radials mounted for easy changability... I love the look of bias plys though, and was considering several options. I definitely want skinnier back wheels/tires than the massive 285/70 15s i have in the radials (mounted on 8" wheels) Was thinking of a 820-15 on a 7" wheel out back, with a 560-15 on a 6" wheel up front... 5" would fit the tire better, but the backspacing on a 5" lets my brakes hang out the back of the wheel too much... if i had cool finned buick drums that would be ok, but i'd like to hide my GM discs as much as i can. Firestone Deluxe Champions were the specific model i was looking at, in a blackwall. I also considered moving to a 16", but they seem quite a bit more money than 15", especially when buying wheels and tires both.
This is what i consider the ideal setup as far as wheels/tires go, but I really can't say I even know what sizes these are... ( i think 16 " diameter, but no clue on wheel width/offset or tire size... I just know they look killer.Last edited by joeybsyc; 04-05-2007 at 09:12 PM.

Dang, you's guys are good photoshoppers
You should do this for a living and charge big bucks, except for club members of couse.
Now as a real test, lower the rear of my car 2".

820-15's and 560-15's would look great IMHO as long as the 560-15's don't put you too far down in the weeds.Ken Thomas

Hey Denny, any chance you could re-photoshop this pic with the same tires, and black wheels, but put wide whites on 'em?Joe Barr

Wow, not only are you good, you're fast too! Thanks! I bought a set of bias ply wide whites, trying to decide if i should paint the second set of steelies black for a different look, or just do 'em red like my current wheels... still not sure.Joe Barr

I bought the 76 in August , but haven't been able to work on it. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures.
