TheSamba.com :: View topic - where to get White Walls? 12 inch wide, and stock width?

Sat Oct 25, 2008 5:58 pm

Hey yall. i am starting my Rat Rod project, and i want some white wall tires for my bug. I really don't want to buy regular tires (with white letters, or line) and grind the side off to expose the white underneath. But if i have to i will. I already have the wheels, and wanted to know if they sell 12inch wide tires, and the stock width tires. I'd like them to be as tall as possible (just for that old skool look 8) ). Any sites online, or tire chain stores? Thanks in advance yall.

Yeah i saw that video, and i made a few, but the white rubber underneath is wavy. Its not a perfect circle. the line isn't perfect around, and is very noticable. So i'd rather just buy some. That site also has some awsome wheels, i might get. the street rod wheels are f#@king awsome 8) . Thanks guys.

How about some Firestone Drag slicks from UVT?
