New tires and wheels on my '69 XR7 R code, what do you think

My '69 XR7 R code, I use these wheels/tires on it as driving/show and shine car show presentations, after the “correct” car shows and judging are done and I want to motor fast and get the CJ to hookup. They are black spoke Cragar SS, with Goodyear Eagle GT, V speed rated 215X55X17 on front and 235X55X17 on rear. I think they look great, especially on a black or dark color car, and the 17s are not too big and don’t look like a stagecoach even when replacing 14", IMO.

Looks sharp.

Whatever floats your boat, man. :bandit:

I used to think I’d switch back & forth between bias plys on original wheels & radials on repro rims. Sure the radials have better ride/handling characteristics, but I’ve had the bias plys on now for the past 7 years. It hooks up just fine with the bias plys.

Now, what you really need to do is get your factory pinstripes workin’… :pimp:

Well, this car, according to my Marti, came original with FR70X14 radials anyway. So correct or road wheels, no bias plies for me.

And I don’t have any pinstripes except the silver Cougar head and 428CJ ones on the hood, should I have others in silver along the top fenders and door area?

Looks great to me! There was a factory pin stripe at the top of the fender door quarter area. And Silver would be my choice.

Looks great the way it is
