NEED HELP on my 53.

[05231990]

I recently purchased a 53 5 window chevy, my plans is to Bag the truck and also give it the pro street look with the 20'' x 15'' rims on rear with a 18'' on the front. The Motor is a Merlin III 509 ci Big Block. The front end is IFS and the rear will be narrowed to allow for the wide tires.

Now with that being said what is the tallest tire that i can put on the rear and front with out hitting the fender, and what is the best size bags to go with for the front and rear?

The "Pro Street" look per sey is to have a drag racing look to your vehicle. The rear tires are usually very large sidewall like a dragster slick. Most all your drag racing wheels are 15" or 16" in diameter for rears. and they can be 15" wide. Mickey Thompson has the Sportsman series tires that are street legal that give you this appearance.

The biggest that M/T makes is 33" x 21.5" tire and its big!!! I am using them on 15x15 Weld Wheels. they fit just fine with a 'few mods'....

If you go with 20" wheels the sidewall is not a Pro Street look....
