"Back in the late '60s, some guys ran "Indy tires" on the street if they had room for them - and if they didn't have room, they'd jack the car up for that goofy Hot Wheels look."
hey, i resemble that remark !
not sure where i got them, but they were 15" wide, and a little on the short side, diameter wise.
still had to raise the car some, and they stuck out, as the pictures show. [taken at NU-BE drag strip in the mid 70's]
those things were hard, and traction was non-existent, street or strip.
i sold them to someone local, and i saw them again about 10 or 15 years ago, still in his garage.
