    Anyone seen these Tires before?

    My car does not mind where they are made. Burns them the same. Lol! I kinda like the different name on the side then BFG. I miss the 80’s and all the cool white lettering and names.

    Narrowed a set of steel wheels

    Great job! I also want to add that companies start somewhere. We all look to big companies to do the work we are taught are best left to professionals. Even me, a certified welder who’s been a heavy mechanic for over 35 years would not dare tackle wheels…. But somebody has to and those few brave...

    What is front wheel minimum back spacing?

    You need to measure yourself! Your car was mass produced and not all of them are exactly the same. Let alone you changed the front end.

    Using 65 Newport BBP set up on my Dart?

    10”x2-1/2” set ups from a Dakota are easy to find from the junk yard. Backing plates and all hardware except e brake cables work. If you score a Dakota with 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Then the drums fit too. Just let the axle maker know this is the brakes you’re using. I don’t know why that is...

    Problem with reproduction steel wheels

    1) something is not right- measure the angles of the lug nuts vs the rim lug holes. 2) how does the hub fit in the rim. There should be no space. The center hole or hub is supposed to take the weight not the lugs. It is why uni- lug wheels seem to always open up and loosen up. The center hub...

    64 Barracuda factory steel wheel paint colors

    They are still available- may be special order but you can get them. A lot of European cars still run them I was told by my local tire guy. They are allowed to keep tires on the shelf for like 2-3 years and have to dispose of them. They get sent here where a tire is able to be sold as “new “...

    BF Goodrich radial T/A white letters

    Wesley’s tire (bleach) white tire cleaner. Old stuff works good. Most manufacturers are no longer offering white letters or white out lined tires any longer. What turns them brown… not keeping them clean I guess. Not sure if an owner thing or company thing. I’ve yet to see white walls, white...

    Tire finding trouble please help

    The other issue when replacing the older car tires is the tubes. Anything newer does not do well with tubes internally unless they are designed to work with tubes. I had a friend from a tire shop who would put half a container of baby powder in each one to help lubricate the tubes and allow...

    Tire size for easy steering

    The narrower of a tire tread and the taller the tire will also help. Higher Tire pressure also helps. Syleng1

    Is this enough space on my rear wheels? 18” wheels

    Corners will be the true test. Tires flex and “twist”. Typically 1/2” is tight but okay. Syleng1

    Goodyear polyglass tires

    Coker re-pooped tires are crazy money for the “authentic look.” On the 66’ Barracuda I get asked to “smoked up.” All the time. They are Coker red line BFG’s every burn out is like $60 worth of rubber. “I tell them it will not spin the tires.” Lol- I can’t afford to.
