AD Tire Size
Current I'm running a 255/35r20 on my 1950 AD but want to swap them out for some 15" wheels. Am leaning towards the 205/75r15. Truck has a MII and ford 8.8 rearend with air ride. Also guys who are running white walls what size white wall did you go with 2 3/8" or 3" white wall

I went with 15x7 205/70-15 (26-1/2" diameter) on the front and 15x8 225/70-15 (28" diameter) rear. The decision was dictated largely by practicality and economics: as soon as you go to the larger diameters and lower profiles the cost goes up exponentially.
The big whitewalls always look better, imo. Curious: why do you want to go to the smaller wheel - going retro? |

Re: AD Tire Size
Definitely need to check on your caliper/disc size. I have 11" brakes and cannot fit 15 inch rims.

Re: AD Tire Size
I went with 205/75R15 on my '50 and thought I liked them. Then while doing some serious digging into tire size for my '47 I ended up finding some 215/75R16 and really wish I had gone that route on my '50. Much taller tire but still pretty narrow for a stock look. If you already have 15" rims I'd go with the 205/75, but if you're buying a new set I'd seriously consider some 16's.

Re: AD Tire Size
I kind of like the factory look, what size could get me in that ballpark?

215/75-15 with 2.25 whitewall about 27" tall. Sorry I know it's not an AD but I wanted to help with tire choices

Re: AD Tire Size
The 215-75-15 fit the wheel wells pretty nicely most of the time.
I ran 14x7 inch wheels with 11 inch Camaro disk brakes so I don't see where he clearance issue would be unless a guy ran old drum brake wheels. |
