So, Mr. Norm, and others, have said that I needed larger rear tires on the back of my 32 roadster. I agreed. When I bought the 6.50 16 tires Danny Brent told me that they were going to be too small. He was right, so was Norm and the others. So I ordered some 7.50 16 from our favorite old car tire dealer. I expected a tire that was about an inch larger. These are HUGE! I had an extra pair of 40 Ford wheels thanks to my friend Calvin King so I figured I would have a quick bolt on once the new monster tires were mounted. My friends Brian and Carlos Orosco at US wheel (expert wheel repair) mounted the tube type tires for me . For some reason these wheels hit the calipers and the tires are very close to the body. Nothing’s ever easy. Thanks to Amazon. I should have a set of nice 1 inch spacers tomorrow between 7 AM and 11 AM. We will see then how it all bolts up. I do think it will look bitchin when it is all put back together. Yes, those very expensive tires took a s**t ton of weight to balance.
