Tonytoro416 1,199 #1 Posted September 3 Well finally at the point in restoration process of putting tires and wheels on and I have had these ag star tires mounted and waiting. Well I put them on and I don’t know how I feel about them. Awful close to fenders and seem not proportional. Deflated to say the least 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 61,083 #3 Posted September 3 Tight fit for sure, How about a wheel spacer? 1 1/2" or two could make them work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me it's the FRONT set that's small. 18 minutes ago, 953 nut said: a wheel spacer? 1 1/2" or two could make them work. You'd get the AG tread away from the sheet metal...

Tonytoro416 1,199 #6 Posted September 3 I am conflicted because I have nothing else I can use these tires on They are brand new. The front are 4-8 regular size. Just stinks. Really sucked the wind out of my sails this evening 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonytoro416 1,199 #7 Posted September 3 I don’t know if I continue putting it together and see how it shapes up proportion wise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs to be finished anyway. If ya don't like the sneakers when it's done then get another set and save or sell those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 29,016 #9 Posted September 3 I think you're perspective may change once you get all the tin and engine on it... also, spacer under the seat would work too. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 67,445 #11 Posted September 4 I like big tires. I say yay! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 12,384 #12 Posted September 4 I think it looks fine, course I'm not sure how you're going to use it. If you're going to run chains, then yes to close for that. Can you flare the seat pan a bit if that's what's troubling to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
