Show me your Wide WhiteWalls

I'm wanting to put Wide WhiteWalls tires on Smoothies or Gennies or Rallys
On my 52. I don't have airbags but I will be doing a 2" drop MustangII front
Same or more on rear axle spacers.
Show me some pic of WWw

Post up tire sizes too.

I'm thinking of going with 255/60-15 rears
225/60-15 fronts.

Thanks

Atomsplitter,
The stance of your truck looks great.
That's kinda what I'm shooting for.
What size are those wheels?
Offset? Are you running spacers?

S10fan,
I like them homemade WWW.

I don't have my bed on right now.
But how wide Is the rear fender area to work with.
255/60-15 is alittle over 10"
Will they fit if I can get my wheel centered in there.

Re: Show me your Wide WhiteWalls

None of these are mine but they all have wide whites.



Out hiding in the parking lot.

Not real wide but they look good

This is the truck that convinced me to go with wide whites and a traditional look with mine.

Re: Show me your Wide WhiteWalls

Hey Lazypineapple,
My fronts rims are 15x8 and the rears are 15x9, both Zero Offset lat 60's Corvette rims. The tires fit between the fender and bed side with a 1/2" at each side! It's the max I can go before putting on fatter fenders.
If you like the home made Wide Whites check this out.
