Tyre question for wheels im thinking of buying ???

[wilber71]

Hi Guys,

i have been offered a set of wide 5 smoothies 15", the rears have been re-rimmed not banded to 6.5"

The fronts are standard steels

My Bay is a 1970, which has been lowered slightly...my question is what size tyres would i get to get a good look, and obviously be safe to use ???

Thanks

what offsets have the rears got? will they be ok to sit in the rear arch and not rub? would be tempted to bolt a rear one on first to see what clearances you have then you would in a better to sus the tyre sizes 8)

Rear wheels are 5.5 wide (6.5 total width) recommend anything from
175 up

Fronts are 4 (5 total width) standard wheels

This is the info from the seller, as i haven't purchased them as yet......

Be interested to see how you get on with these. I'm currently running 15" split wheels which are 4.5" but have been thinking I would like slightly wider
