New wheels

[300cruiser]

I picked up these for my 300. Any suggestions for a suitable tire size and style? I'm not a whitewall guy so letters or black?

P235/75-15........
GREAT score..........

255' 70 15 on the rears, 235 70 up front.... with white letters

 

[300cruiser]

Thanks. Haven't actually seen them yet but figured I couldn't go wrong for $200

 

[polara71]

those look to be the 15 x 7's are they? or are the 6"? two hundred is great if they're nice...with rings and centers

 

[polara71]

BUT as I look it appears to have two C body trim rings and two "other" trim rings.... still a good price

 

[300cruiser]

Seller said 7"

 

[polara71]

Nice !! Beef up the rear tires.....

 

[Stormer]

Those will look great on the car. I would personally go with a blackwall. There is a ton of room for tire in the rear so I'd use some of it up & go as wide as will fit on a 7" wheel.

No whitewall is a mistake in my opinion. RWL or black walls won't look right. My ten cents.

 

[300cruiser]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to post some pics in the spring with the new rubber on.

I agree a whitewall would look the best and set off the wheel even nicer!!!

Blackwall with biggest rubber you can get in there... i like 235/70/15...but hard to find nowadays.

x2........RWL really looks terrible on road wheels.

100% correct .......! Whitewalls only on those wheels on a 300. RWL's are for B-E bodys, (Sorry Dave), & blackwalls are for police and taxi.

Thanks. Do you have a shot of the whole car? Car color looks the same so I'd like to see the whole package.

A blanket statement is ok, wrong but ok

X3....Remember when the cars of ths era and before were new........only the cheapest of cars wore blackwalls. The class these cars represent deserve the best you can afford.
