I presently have 8.25 x 20's all the way around my '53 Chevy COE. Have ran 9.00 x 20's, on it, in the past. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | I think you'll need the rims that come with the 8.25's. They're an inch wider than the 7.50 wheels. I had to do this with my 48,
