I want this look!

On the link im about to post there is an awesome rat rod and i have no clue who it belongs to. I saw it in the May issue of Ol Skool Rods #51. It looks as if the wheels the white walls are mounted on are 10" and love the look of these whitewalls a bit balloned out. Just wondering what size tire "whitewall" if any will work and give me this desired look! Thanks everyone!

From that tiny picture, it looks like they took a tire too narrow for the rim and blew it out to fit. Kinda like the lowriders did in the 80's/90's.

Was debating on doing some H78-15s if they will mount to a 15x10 rim. Also hoping for that look does anyone know or think that would work? Thanks for all info!

John

I don't think an H-78 will spread far enough to seat the beads on a 10" rim.

I had some L-60 15's on 10" rims....

those fit Ok... don't think the H's will fit that wide rim though......

Those might be 8"

So its believed that is an 8" rim? So there is no other whitewall i can stretch to a 10" rim......disheartening. I hate to start fresh with a new wheel but its lookin bleek. Thanks for all the help. Also do you think those are 78's on an 8" rim or a smaller size? Thanks again all!

I have really been tire shopping all day and its compounded by my 6 lug chevy bolt pattern + 10" wide rim. Want a cool whitewall homemade or not just something fitting for my 35 dodge rat rod truck! Thanks again all!!!!!

I am pretty sure Slaughterhouse built that car. Contact them and ask for the details.

Mike S. Thank you it was a slaughterhouse custom car called the slaughterhouse coupe! Ill post more pictures of it it looks like those are mounted on 10" wide rims!

Here is the link with the new pics lemme know what yall think!

Its picture number 25, i swear that looks like they are mounted on 20" wide rims.

I found some better pics. (Those tiny ones suck ) If you put a gun to my head, I'd have to say the wheels are 8''.

No matter if they're 8'' or 10'', looks like a great way to bugger up a pair of tires. Mounting those things must be a nightmare, which makes me wonder if they have (gulp) tubes in 'em. [S

Don't like tubes? How would you deal with the Coker tires that are tube type?

Some days I should just keep my big trap shut. I didn't think anybody made tires with tubes anymore.

Neat look but for some reason I don't think that would be a very good idea....

"You got it John 10" wide on l78s talk to ya soon and shoot*us a pic!

you could just ask the builder... it was built by slaughterhouse customs... im not sure if he is a member on here or not.. but he is for sure over at KB...

that last pic that dr crankenstien posted up... sure looks like the car sits crooked when aired out...

How safe is that? Around here, the tire places started refusing to mount them like that years ago.
