I hear that 35x10.50xR16s are again available. Ours on the '72 are about 15 years old!

The 17" rim being the problem.....I havent yet found a stock-ish looking wheel for a 40 in 17

If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears

What do you have for tires/suspension on mustard?

Looks like geolanders but I cant see size

@wngrog spec tires. 255/85/16 Geolanders.

Dobinson IMS suspension. That has been my favorite 40 series setup so far.

Me too honestly. They are a fun tire for where I live. If I was in suburbia then maybe I would go with a different tire. This red 45 just comes out for short lunch runs and that usually involves a lot of dirt road driving. Lots of fun.

Looks great, I thought they looked more like 35's than 33's

Oil change day today. Got around 3200 miles on the motor now. Not a single issue.

Sitting in the main garage now hoping to encourage some cooler weather.

Dude, the Browns.

@wngrog, thanks for sharing the powder color you used on jomelo's tailgate. After sitting in the basement for two years, I finally had mine coated. Turned out pretty good.
