i'm not sure as they're not mine...it was from a post back when i was asking about smoothies with whitewalls for my old '88 S-10 Blazer

here's one on a '65 Panel...post 217:

so, a big/little combo would be possible with those if doing the 215/75 & 235/75

thanks for the info...

Thanks! We drive it everywhere! We put a S10 5 speed in it right before the round up and it was the best thing we ever did to it.

I'll need to get with you after I get my truck out of the paint shop. I want upgrade...front disc brakes, power steering, rear end, etc. I want to be able to drive mine to The Lone Star Round Up next year. 2011

I do not think you can .... you have to get creative with center caps and bullet lug nuts.

Bazooka · 05-20-2010, 06:34 PM

I like the 6 lug smoothies with no center cap and bullet lugs.. both wide and thin whites depending on the year of the truck/car. I dont really care for the five lug smoothies because they have the multi bolt pattern. They can look pretty good too though with some center caps on them. Black smoothies with baby moons always looks sweet.

I agree with the smoothies and the multi lug pattern. They don't look as good with the bullet caps. I painted the drums silver where it shows through. It made it look a lot better. They should make an adaptor with more bullets on it to cover the other holes, and I think it would look better.

likaroc13 · 05-24-2010, 01:03 PM

just an update:

so i decided to look up the current tire on my truck, which is a thin whitewall 205/75/15 Firestone fr380...i found out that it's also available in a 215/225 & 235 as well....it's an all season tire too...the Mastercraft A/S IV tires are also available in the same sizes, as well as the Cooper Trendsetter SE

so, you folks looking for thin whites can add this one to your list

I ended up with a set of National 4000's. I think National tires are made by Kelly, not sure though. They are 235/75/15 with a thin whitewall. $75 each from a shop owned by a friend's grandfather. I will post pics when they get mounted.

looked them up...looks like they're distributed by Del-Nat Tire Corp. out of Memphis, TN

fryer1979 · 05-24-2010, 06:45 PM

Oh yeah, lovin the wide whites. Great pictures.

I never knew you could makes white walls out of regular tires. Question though, what are you guys using to buff through the thin black rubber?

losthope · 05-25-2010, 07:54 PM

just a update where to get shaved/buffed white walls in sac! i was looking for skinny whites to get shaved at hooten tires on craigslist when i found a ad for a shop that carrys factory ww's and shaved/buffed white walls 13-15" tires and the also do cold vulcanizing(liquid rubber layed to tires you already have) but shop closes at 3pm so i couldnt get prices...the web site is www.callitw.com

Strodder · 05-25-2010, 08:54 PM

I wonder why they don't have bigger sizes.
