Reading the pros and cons on swapping out the wheels on my 29 roadster pickup. It has the original 21’s on it with Coker Firestone’s. I have 35 wires ready for tires and living in Canada, sourcing tires is an issue so hence the question. I have 35 wires on my 32 pickup with 7.00 and 5.50 Firestone’s and really like the look so that is the plan for the 29. As previous posters have said, I can always switch back. Funny looking, possibly, but end of the day it’s what I want.

Here is an additional thread, more opinions/info if interested.


https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121018


Attached are pictures including my truck with the less expensive Coker's on the truck. 7.00 x 16 Tornels. Tire Diameter with this set up is the same as original , speedometer is accurate.


Hope this helps
