Re: Maiden voyage
What size tires are you running. I really like how yours look in the front. That is about perfect. They fit the line of the arc of the fender perfectly.

sry, but I thought it was funny.
I know just what you meant.
I didn't know the tires came in a 700x20, I bought the 6.50x20 Firestones for my 1931 AA and they look great too...

Re: Maiden voyage
No problem buddy... Take your time. Since you have driven it did you have any tire fender rubbing on the front end with this combination when you made turns. They look great. I am just interested in wether they rub on the fenders when you make turns.bdotson wrote:I better look today when I get home they might not be 7.00 I will get back with you sorry Buddyspectria wrote:You mean because they are round just like the fender?flatford39 wrote:What size tires are you running.

Re: Maiden voyage
7.00x20 will rub the brake rods when making tight turns.

I'd like to get mine to the point where I could have that problem!

The corner where the tread meets the body rubs.
Re: Maiden voyage
I checked the size today and yes they are 7.00-20. There is not much room but I have had no problems as of yet.
