    Tire size on a swb

    Hi all.
    Building a 67S hotrod with a little oomp. Hoping to have about 200-220 hp when done.
    Using 4.5 fuchs on the front and deep sixes on the rears. What tire sizes would be ideal for this set -up ?
    Thanks

    My guess would be a 185 on the front and 195 maybe 205 on the back.

    You’ll need to do some measurements with your wheels, wheel wells and potential tires.

    You might want to consider these to maintain the proper look all around. You could run 195s on all four corners, which I find is the sweet spot for a powerful SWB. My '67 had a 2.8SS that made 272hp at the crank.
