Re: Wide whites
I snapped this pic of a van at the gas station you can see how the white is rubbing down. Thanks for posting links what is the most common tire size? I'm thinking about running some wide whites on my 81 suburban.

Re: Wide whites
My tires are buffed. I bought them at Pep Boys, Futura Super Sports with raised white letters. I had them done at a lowrider shop in Albuquerque...

Re: Wide whites
I did the same thing as Joe, got my whites shaved here in San Diego. Ive got some ugly curb rash on my front right tire now, and shaved whitewalls dont clean up so good. Guess im getting curb feelers next, a little lowrider touch.
