You’re on the right course here, just keep
on tuggin’! I agree, the cars always look wrong to me
when they have too low a profile – you’ll grow to like the authentic look of it
with the right tires on it. Dick Benjamin By the
way, the new Firestone 890x15 tires arrived and I've had two of them mounted on
the rims. They are HUGE! They stand about an inch higher than the
pickup tires! However, I forgot to mention the "beauty rims"
and when they bbalanced them they put the weights in the front so I'll have to
take them back and have them redo it or loose the beauty rims which makes the
limo look pretty elegant. The 5" whitewalls on the larger tires look
GREAT! There is still plenty of "black left on the outer edge and
that's what I was afraid might be lost. NOT SO! The limo was so low
with the 8/20x15" that were on it when I bought it in 1962 that I really
had to be careful of dragging. The undercarriage. With the new original
size tires that's going to make a HUGE difference! I should have done
this years ago but the lower profile did give a look of sleekness that I'm sure
is going to bother me until I get used to the elevated body due to the HUGE
tires. |
