black vs white letters...

[3XBrownCutty]

okay so im in a bit of a pickle.

i'm running 15x7 wheels in the rear with a 255/60. I'm running 14x6 wheels in the front and i'm thinking stock tire size.

I was going to get t/a's. turns out the smallest 14" tire thes carry is a 225/60. which isnt that much difference from the 27.5ish" diameter of the 255 (3" difference roughly), and it kinda defeats the purpose of the big and little "theme" ( i think)

i dont really want to get the mastercraft white letter tires, i think showing the white "mastercraft" makes the car look kinda cheesy. not too crazy abnout "indy 500" showing either.

I'm not sure what to do. i really wanted to show the BFG white letters. Now if i dont do white letters, i could do cheapo fronts and ET streets or something which i really like. I guess i could just run the 225 14" tire and be done with it but im not too sure.

I really dont know what to do. gimme some input here. also these are oldsmobile rally wheels with beauty rings and trim clips.

I voted for white letters but unfortunately, I don't know of any good tires made any more with them. BFG's radial T/A's are terrible! Mastercraft are pure junk.
The only raised white letter tires I've ever liked were the 245/60R14 Goodyear Eagle ST's I had 15 years ago. Unfortunately, they stopped making them. 🙁

If it was me I'd get a pair of matching 15" rims for the front.

I voted white letter as well. Unless you are going to a big wheel, you need the white letters. I agree with your feelings on the brand as well. I only like the Eagle GTII's, based on their look. Not sure if you can still buy them though.

I vote black unless you can find some white lettered tires from a reputable brand.

Black as well, looks clean

I agree, so I voted for white letters. And i'm coming up with 24.63 inches in diameter for the 225/60/14 so that would be quite a bit shorter than the rears.

white letters definately. Narrow white wall looks badass too. Firestone indy 500's have a decent rep. Mickey thompson's sportsman ST's are another street tire with RWL i've read good things on, very popular with the shelby roadsters

My vote is for the white letters. Just something about the white letters and muscle cars seems right to me.

White letters on normal G-body tire sizes. Black wall if you are going with low-profile tire.
