    Rear tire size for Metropolitan

     



    I'm building a 57 Nash Metropolitan for my wife to drive daily. I have a 2.0 liter putting out just under 400 horse at the crank with a 5 speed manual to a 9 inch. What size tires would be best for hooking up this little 2,000 pound car?

    As big (and sticky) as will fit.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I would think a couple of 18" Mickeys would be about right
