A funny thing happened today.... Got a text from a friend, this turned up in his Instagram feed today...A guy in Sweden had just posted it... I posted this on Moparts probably 15 years ago... I was driving... It's a 70 R/T SE U code... Photo was taken in 1979 while I was home on leave... It was taken out on Santa Fe Ave.. Which back then was where we would go to race....
It's been a long time so not 100%, I think the tires are Kelly Super Chargers... F60-14's up front & L60-15's out back...
That's a great shot!
Man, That Car is Awesome!

Had a box Nova, a 62, with radiused (badly) wheelwells, a 68 Z28 302, 4sp, and M50x14s on a ten inch wire basket mag. Stuck out of the fender a couple inches on each side.
I was SO cool!

I really can't tell
I was just picking at you, implying those tires were too narrow for a V8

Like these? Not really old... but they're big! Four inches wider, and five inches taller than a N50. My Opel tires.

Buddy of mine, a welder working for a NASA tracking station in an un-named part of Ca. built a set of Rallies with the help of his co-workers in the company machine shop to put N 50s on his Hemi Challenger. They looked amazing on there 
Just on the back, skinnies on the front

That's EXACTLY what they are. Right rear spec tire, for a spec tire dirt series that died. Closed out, at 50 bucks each. By the time I had a different pattern added to the centerlines, I think I have about $300 in the pair of wheels/tires.

I hope you've got a tire machine and balancer. I've been charged more for mount and balance a pair of tires, than one of the tires cost! Then there is a couple different taxes, and a tire disposal fee....
I had a set back in 1981! They howled like plastic big wheel tires when you burned rubber. Super hard and dangerous when wet. I think they were old.
