Good Morning Everyone and Happy New Year to you from a very cold Sioux Falls!

I have just had my 5 Rally Wheels returned to me rechromed from Rally America and they look fantastic!! Can I say better than new.

What a great job they did and their service and communication was great throughout the process.

They painted the centres Argent and I am impressed.

I now need to find new tires to fit these rims and will keep to the correct bias ply tires. Can anyone suggest to me where I can go to get the "correct" tires, size and brand name? I would like to find the 8.85 x 15 and from what I can gather 1.3 inch white wall? Your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

That whitewall is too wide, max is 1", I prefer a 3/4" 235/75/15 is the best looking size IMHO.

coker has an 855/15 bias ply that is the closest to the factory whitewall bias ply.

Here is mine with Firestone 235/75/15 tires sourced from eBay! Wheels were redone by RallyAmerica over ten years ago. Still beautiful.

Hello Ted, Ed, Marty and Ted

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my thread. I will contact Diamond Back and see what they have to offer. I have already emailed Coker and Wallace Wade, (they advertise in the Bugle) and will wait to read what they have to say. Wow, Ted Nagle what a great looking "Cat". Will you be taking this car to Springfield later on this year? Thank you once again.

Regards

John
