Richard Cope Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 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. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
