Unsure how to delete this, so copying and moving to Builds section per Skull's suggestion.
Probably not the right section for this post, but I didn't see a "correct" place for it. Sorry for my ignorance... I'm the FNG (and a very new one to all of this.)
Recently bought a 49 Ford F2 that has had some work already done, but want to do a bit more. I'm planning to install Posies springs front and rear for a 3" drop, and install the F1 5-lug front disc brake kit to match the 5-lug, 9" F100 rear axle I'm putting in it. Not sure if I'm going to channel it or get it any lower than that at this point, but maybe.
My question is: what do you guys suggest for a more period-correct type of tire and wheel combination? What diameters and widths (rim and tire)? I know I need at least a 15" wheel to clear the brake rotors. I was thinking 16" artillery or smoothies with a whitewall, but am unsure what width rims and tires give the right look.
All comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.
