What was the common size used for front runners back in the day? The height is the main thing I'm looking for. They look so tall and cool. Just not sure how tall of tire I can fit in the front opening of a 66 Coronet. I'm looking at these Pro Tracs from Coker but they're almost 28" tall. http://store.cokertire.com/tire-brands/d...ont-runner.html I like the look in the pic

Excellent, love the look of your Duster. Vintage race cars look awesome.

Yeah I am thinking more of the S/S and door cars. Just wasn't sure what size. I know if they are too small it looks funny but the front wheel well on a 66 or 67 b body is close at the front and I don't want to rub. Thanks for the input so far.
I like these, they have the same look as the Firestones on Coker Tire's site.

These look a little short for a B body to me.

Excellent 4gearsavoy, do you ever drive it on the street?
