Stock 1938 Ford Tudor sedan
 

Will putting 650/16's on the rear and 600/16's on the front look OK on my stock 38 or should I just go ahead and put 600/16's all around? I'd like to give it a little rake but the 650's have a 4" white wall and the 600's a 3". 650's are maybe 3/4" taller.

I don't plan to lower it at this time but who knows. Any input appreciated. It's got the V860 and is stock all around with a flat satin black paint job and stock hub caps.

The 38 is fine looking car, I think your choice of tires should suit you. I think it would look good. IMHO.

Oh come on! Why don't you go just a bit bigger on the rear? As Carl Kohler used to say, "If some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough":cool:.

Your stock rims are 3.5" wide, which takes a 5.5" tire. 6.00" tires will work on this rim, but you would need to up the rim size to 4.0" to go with the 6.50" tires.
