I am about to purchase some bias ply front tires for my '66 Satellite but am having some difficulty deciding what tires/rims I need. I am looking for a combination similar to what the cars would have run "back in the day". I have attached a few photos of what I am looking for. I was initially thinking a 4 1/2" wide wheel with a 7.10-15 tire but after looking at the recommended rim widths for that size, they are recommending a wheel closer to a 5 1/2 minimum width.

What did they run back in the day? A 6.70-15 tire on a 4 1/2" wheel or a 7.10-15 tire on a 5 or 5 1/2" wheel?

Thanks!

Stan
