edinmass 7,738 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Double white walls......what size tire would that car have on it from the factory? Link to post Share on other sites
John_Mereness 3,954 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Ed, I am leaning toward a 6:00 or 6:50 x 18 and I think the drop center wheels were 17" via original size and pretty narrow too (and perhaps the V-12 cars had a larger width tire), but my guess is that these are 7:00 sized tire as in a lot of the original photos of 31-32 Auburn the tires seem a bit undersized compared to the wheel wells openings front and rear. My thoughts are "Bigger the Better" may apply here - the double white seems to fit the car well and certainly fills the wheel openings well. Link to post Share on other sites
Curti 575 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I would lean toward a 6:50 x 17 I don't think a 7:00 would fit in the sidemount tire pockets. That being said, tire sizes today are different than those of the 30's . My 31 & 32 both have 17 inch tires. Link to post Share on other sites
