Thanks. Tires are Stahl Excelsior: 5.50-16 and 7.00-16. They have a tallish profile like bias-plys. The wheels are stock Ford Wide-Fives in front and Ford accessory "Farm Implement" wheels in back. They're about an inch wider than the stock passenger wheels. I've heard them called "Manure Spreaders." I added a '39 steering box, too. It made a difference.
