I got this old girl home. Should be able to get it running this week. What does everyone use for tires and rims on these? I was told shops near me will touch a rim with a locking ring.

What size tire? Look for tire shops in rural farm country to get your tires changed.

Post some pics of your rims so we can help. The real dangerous ones are a 3 peice RH5 rim.

Tony, the Firestone RH-5's are 2-piece, split through the center of the rim...
