How do 225/70/19.5 tires compare to 8R x 19.5 for working as duals on a '59 3800? The rims are original and have old 8Rs currently. I see more 225/70/19.5s for sale and would use those if the dual tires wouldn't rub. Any thoughts?

Can you still call it a barn find if it's your barn? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 486 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 486 | I don't have facts at hand but I believe that you will find that your wheels are too narrow for the metric tires. I found that info somewhere once but I don't remember where it got it.

But those would vary slightly if your rim is narrower than the recommended width. | | |
