I see DB Tires have a 750R16 WW radial and I'm wondering if they would fit my stock '54 rims with no clearance problems. Height is 31.9". Plan on going to 3.55 rear with stock drivetrain. Have discs on the front and want to try to keep up with the slow traffic on the LA freeways as this will be my daily driver. (Or at least not get run over) Thanks.

Thereoreticly, they should work just fine, perhaps a little wide for the stock rim, though. I took a look at them on their site, though, and there really isn't much of the important information you need beyond the dimensions and what brand tire they converted it from. There are no max load or load index ratings shown, very important, particularly when putting tire on a truck. You may want to contact the to find out those specs before you commit to a purchase.

Ok, thanks. Looking for the tallest white wall radial I can find and I think that one is only B&W. I see Coker has one, but big bucks. They list tire maximum load capacity at 2,150.

The capacity listed for the Coker would be sufficient. If the Diamondback is of similar load capacity, it should be just fine.

I have 7.50x16 on stock '51 wheels on my truck. They fit fine. I'm lowered about 5.5" in the front and 4.5" in the rear and get absolutely no rubbing even at full lock.
