Hey guys,

I know there's a similar thread going on right now, but I thought we could open it up to the earlier models too.

I just picked up some new US Mags for my 52 F1 (15x7 front, 15x8 rear), but I have no idea what size tires I should get.



So what to your wheels and tires look like, and what size did you use?

 

15x8 American Racing Chrome Steelies with 235-75-15s.

 

On my '49 F1 I'm running Cooper Tire Cobra Radial GT 235/60 15R (15x7 wheel) up front and 275/60 15R 15 (8.5 wheel) on rear

 

 

I am getting ready to buy or should I say decide what tires and wheels. I want the tire to fill the hole not as in 22's but 15's with a tall and wide. I would like to see someones f-100 side view with such tires if one is out there. Thanks. Also love the old torque thrust wheels but also the stock with little centers and ring. I hate to spend money and not like what I get. Thanks for you help.

 

 

Tires: Front - 215/60R 16's Rear - 235/55R 17's

Wheels: American Racing Polished Torque Thrust

Beautiful truck!!!!

 

 

Painted wheels with stainless Tim rings and hubcaps.
225/70r15 tires

 

Here is a shot of my wheel. I have bias ply tires on now.

 

Beautiful truck and great choice for the wheels and rings.

 

What are the colors you used on your truck? It looks like Tucson Tan for the fenders and running boards. Who painted your truck. I used to live in Mesa, before moving to Tucson. Do you have the paint codes?

Thanks for the info.

Here is my truck with the previous wheel/tire combo. The wheels were 17" x 8" up front with 17" x 9.5" in back. Tires were 255/60-17 in front and 275/60-17 out back:




Here is the truck today with 19" x 10" wheels on all four corners. Tires are 285/35-19 Michelin PSS on all four:
