I'm buying new bias tires for my 58 President. It has 15" from the factory. When I go to the Coker tire site and find my tire 670-15 and check under specification next to the tire I choose, a 2 1/4 " whitewall for $181.00 It has the following:
My question is with the Rim Width. When I got my car it had what looked like bias tires on it. I changed the tires to radials for a better ride and also purchased new rims. Of course I kept the old rims. I just measured the width of them at the spot where the tire bead touches the wheel and I get 5.5" inside and 6" outside. I see on their specs that the "section width is 7.01 (don't know what that is) and the rim width is 4.5-5.00. I'm questioning if my wheels are original or not and if these new tires will fit ? Any help?
