Do a search on bf goodrich (silvertowns) thats their line of classic white walls, i see them at the car shows all the time.
very good looking tire, and ive also seen them in wide sizes :thup: im sure their pricey but very attractive!

If you can find thin ones, you can make them yourself. A sander and some masking tape. Just lightly sand the sidwalls
and the white part gets wider. The tape is for a guideline. It works. My buddy does it on his stuff.

well i checked out the BFG silvertowns and they dont come in the size i wanted. i was looking for 275/60 15's and 245/60 15's they only seem to make the whitewalls in 285/70 15's and 255/70 15's. i think that will be taller than i ant though. i think i want to go narrower in the front as well. i ran the first set up on a chevy short box i had way back and the 245/60 15 would tend to hydro plane really easy in the wet weather.
