Instead of leaving us all in the dark why don't you repost your question along with the answer so we can all benefit from the information?

My question was about using 525/550 21 Lesters on my "29 tudor. The answer I got was yes, but they will rub the brake rods. Was looking for input from others but the answer I got was sufficient thanx

Where did the name Vicky come from. I have heard that all my life and I
don't know where it came from. I know Ford, but just looking at it it's a Tudor.
Was that the name Ford put on the early Tudors ?

Vicky is short for Victoria, which is like a shortened Tudor. The rear end slopes forward, so the rear seat passengers don't have much room.

You would be increasing the wheel size by nearly two inches also. That will be noticeable even with good disc brakes.
