Thread: What size rear tire for 32 fendered ford?

Tweet

I totally agree with deuce, i find the 8" rim looks a little tight in a 32 fender, the 7" with a 235/75 seems just right.

I have run larger tires but the ride suffered.

235/75/15 for the rear? What do you run in the front? Love the stance! Trying to figure out what I'm going to put on mine for a good ride and look good too...

Looks like 560's to me

You wouldn't have any way of knowing, but Randy (deuce) passed away just over a year ago, so won't be answering.
Since those are radials the numbering will be different from Steve's good guess. To me they look like 185/70.

The only "560's" that I know of in today's market are the Firestone F560's from Coker, which are 145 R 15 78S radials. The other option for a nominal 24" tall tire that may give improved wear is a Nankang 145R15 77T which is more readily available. I found the guideline of a 6" to 8" drop in diameter rear to front for the right rubber rake. My '33 is 31" rear, 24" front; and the Deuce will be 32" rear, 24" front.

Bob thats a shame, I didn't know. RIP Randy.
By 560 I meant the radial version that some use, they don't look wide enough to be 185's to me plus 185's would normally be on a 6" rim and I would of thought that coupe is wearing 4.5" - 5" rims in the pic.

Deuce, wondering what brand these nice blackwalls are on the baby blue sedan?

The tread on those tires look like the BF Goodrich T/A's that I run on the rear of my car.

We certainly lost a wealth of info on the 32 Ford with the passing of Randy. His post have influenced my build.
