Default Stock 1938 Ford Tudor sedan

Will putting 650/16's on the rear and 600/16's on the front look OK on my stock 38 or should I just go ahead and put 600/16's all around? I'd like to give it a little rake but the 650's have a 4" white wall and the 600's a 3". 650's are maybe 3/4" taller.

I don't plan to lower it at this time but who knows. Any input appreciated. It's got the V860 and is stock all around with a flat satin black paint job and stock hub caps.

The 38 is fine looking car, I think your choice of tires should suit you. I think it would look good. IMHO.

Oh come on! Why don't you go just a bit bigger on the rear? As Carl Kohler used to say, "If some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough".

Your stock rims are 3.5" wide, which takes a 5.5" tire. 6.00" tires will work on this rim, but you would need to up the rim size to 4.0" to go with the 6.50" tires.
