Wide WhiteWall tires 1950 F1

Please excuse my question but I need a little guidance. I have a 1950 F1 with 16 inch steel rims. What size are the wide white walls that everyone orders?

You're going to need a little more information regarding your wheels but this website can guide you in the right direction once you get that info.

Also, I've had good luck with summit racing and they carry coker tires (which manufacture wide white walls.

Good luck,

F1/F100's didn't come from the factory with white walls, only available after the fact, installed by dealers or owners.

I personally think they look out of place on these trucks, cuz if you look at factory photos, you won't see them.

During the mid-years of the Korean War (1951/52), white walls weren't available on anything, not even Cadillac/Imperial/Lincoln/Packard, because white rubber was difficult to obtain.

1930's/1950 cars came with 5" white walls.
