Those tires and rims look great. I thought 700+ tires would be too big but they look fine.

My mistake. Thanks for the clarification.

Stock wheels and tyres vs 16' 35 wires with 7.00x16 and 5.00x16 stahl radials i borrowed of my mums sport coupe to fit in a bit better at a hot rod event my mums model a wasn't ready for

For reference my mums burtz powered 28 sport coupe that has since been finished

The 550 tires might (?) fit in the fender wells if that is what you have. If I remember correctly I had to let some air out of the 600's to get then to fit.
