I put on 35 Ford 16" spoke wheels with 6:50 x 16 Firestone ww on my 30 Roadster. I put the 6:50's on because they are the same O.D. as the stock 19's thus engine RPM's are not increased. I run 20-22 psi for a smooth ride and great handling.

Do most people run tubeless? arent most radial tubes with the stem in the wrong area for a 16 in ford wheel?

My 6:50 x 16's are bias ply using inside flaps and tubes. Supposedly, and it's been said that a radial tire is not suited for a spoked wheel as the rims are not ridged enough for a radial tire which flexes a good deal, but I don't know if that's factual. Besides I could not find 6:50 radials.

I've seen others post that they're running 195/80R16, which I believe is equivalent to 600/16.

Ive used 6.00-16,s on 35 wheels years ago but they dont look right to me & it felt like I went from a 3.78 ratio to a 4.11.I soon changed back to 19,s & all was well.6.50-16,s might be same OD as the 5.00-19,s but they still dont look right.An A doesnt realy look like an A unless it has the correct wheels on it.
