I've been going back and forth with wheels and trying to do something different on my budget. I think I have settled on Rev Classics and 15" in the front and 17" in the rear. I'm going to order the front wheels first and get new tires so I can get the front end done. I plan on making wood roller templates for the rear bacause I have no idea how wide or tall I can go at this time.
My question for you guys is this: How wide of a tire on the front of a rod is too wide? I see guys saying the wider tires steer and drive bad. I see wide tires on a lot of rods at shows, but I bet they see a trailer more than the street. I can't decide on a 15x7 wheel or a 15x6. The tire height I think I might go with a 25"-26" tall tire. That tire size chart I posted a while back sure has helped me in this area. Any input on the width is appreceiated.Ryan
