What size rear tire for 32 fendered ford?
Hello everyone. I have decided to run 8" wheels on the back of my 32 Ford fendered car, and was wondering what tire size and brand you think would fit well on this wheel size. The 7" wheel and 235/75-15 Uniroyal tire was just a little small. I didn't think I should mount this size tire on an 8" rim. I have already narrowed the rearend by 1 5/8" to get more fender clearance for the 8" wheel. The back spacing or offset on both 7" and 8" wheels is the same. I found a Michelin 265/70-15 that has a cross section that is 1 3/4" wider and is almost an inch taller than the 235-15. Do you think this is too large of a tire for the fender? Thanks
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
