Here are the facts.......

I want to install a 16" wheel on the front of my 54' 3100 with a 235 height tire. I also would like to install a 17" wheel with a 255 height tire on the rear. I have the stock suspension and steering.

When I search online for a tire of that dimensions, I get either winter only tires or truck/SUV tires. The only way I came up with the right tire combo was when I went with a wider tire like a 45 or a 50 series.

Here is the question...what is the widest tire you have run on a stock suspended 3100 series without rubbing on parts ??


1954 Chevrolet 3100
235 c.i.
3 speed on the column
Mariner Blue
Pearl beige
