That has to be a difficult job to pull off. I cant help you, but I'd sure like to know how it's done.

I have Radials 16's with 16 Kelsey Hays wheels on my 34, not the 17's, I will check the tire size and if they are the same diameter tire then I will take a picture with a yard stick to get the height for reference

I have a set of 195 x75 X16 tyres on 1935 rims. At the time, 75 was the best aspect ratio I could get. I'd have bought the 80% ones if they were available so long as the price was OK. Mine are Maxxis light truck tyres with a 6 ply rating so there is no problem with load ratings when I am towing.
I've done about 7,000 miles on them - all done while towing a camper trailer. The few miles done without the camper were a sensation. The car was on rails aropund corners and round a bouts. My fuel economy was better than conventional tyres too.

What I meant was that I do think some aspects of handling are better but I don't feel they improved the looks of the car. They don't quite fill out the wheel wells like the 21s did but I think these are about the tallest tire you can get without going to a ridiculously fat tire.
