And don't forget Roger, he'd probably want the wheels in all black (where's the barfing smilie when you need it?)
It's all in that "what we expect" thing. 18, 19, 20 on a contemporary truck/suv is common to our eye/memory. Some examples (since I'm a picture guy).
My truck has 20s, looks comparatively tame, while the Mustang also has 20s, but with the lower aspect ratio tire it makes the wheel more dominant than the same size on the truck. But both fulfill expectations for their genre. Then throw in the '30 roadster with 16s and then think of that rear tire/wheel being just about 50/50 steel vs rubber.......again, it looks right (to me anyway) because it's familiar (rubber band tires and major hoops would be just ALLLLLL wrong!!).Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 02-15-2015 at 09:10 AM.

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.

Hello, I'm building a 33 Ford hiboy and love your wheel and tire setup on your black roadster. What size wheels and tires are they?
Thanks,
Tim
