18" Wheels: Tire sizes

[slowcpe]

I've had a set of 18x8/9.5 Ridlers for a few years with 235/55-18 on the front and 255/55-18s on the rear. The fronts at about shot and I've currently got them on my '72 driver. I'm planning on putting a set of 20s on it later this year and the 18s back on my '67 project to roll around the garage in.

I'm finding there is not a whole lot of 18" tires in the 27-29" tall range which I'd like to have since I have a 4.11 rear end. The 255/55s are about 29" tall. A guy at one of the local tire shops has a set of Michelins in 235/60 and 265/60 I can get real reasonable that could get me by until the budget allows for new tires/wheel. The fronts would be about 29.5" tall and rears 30.5" tall.

Anybody running either one of these tires? I'm curious if they would be too tall and look kind of goofy. Truck is getting lower about 4" in the front and 5" in the rear here real soon.

Current setup:



Anybody want to post up pics of your 18s and tire sizes?
