Need help find white wall tires

I am on the hunt for a good size white wall tire... I will be using a 15x7 steel smoothie wheels up front and 15x8 in the rear (smoothie as well) What's a good size tire to get? I plan on dropping it 5/7 right away and the going with bags later on....

Re: Need help find white wall tires

I wouldn't mess with the portawalls either. If that's the look you want, you're pretty much stuck with diamond back.
