1939 Plymouth Coupe

Recommended Posts

Want to put radial tires on my 39 Plymouth business coupe.  Engine, trans and rear are stock, however will be adding an overdrive.  Currently has 600x16 bias ply tires and for safety would like to switch to wider  modern size radials.   Thinking of using 16 in wheels, either 5.5 or 6 in width.  Seems that the selection of tires are better with a 6in wheels.  Was considering either P215/65R16 or P225/60R16.  Considering purchasing a wheel and have a used tire installed to verify fit.  Would 15 inch wheels  have any benefit, however may be difficult finding a 15in. that has enough clearance as the car is getting disk brakes on front.  Appreciate your  thoughts on size of wheels and tires.
