I agree with Tom a 10.5 slick should not be on a 7" wheel though I have seen them on a 8" wheel and that passes ok...the one inch makes a huge difference.

Cragar only makes 2 offsets standard I believe is 4.5(or 4.25) BS and 2.25 deep dish unless you get into custom ordered wheel.

Yes, I saw that. But he referred to them as deep dish yet they didn't appear in the photos to be the 2.25 BS version, hence why I wanted to check. Maybe they are, and it's just the way I'm seeing them, but would think a 12&quot; tire on an 8&quot; wheel with only 2.25&quot; backspace would put the tire bulge way further out from the wheelhouse......

I feel the reproduction L60-15 tires appear smaller than the ones I ran 25 years ago. Even in vintage pics, these new L60 seem milder in comparison.

I do like thE new ones though. When your tires scrape, well it just sucks.

BTW to clarify when I stated 12&quot; tire, I meant the inflated section width, not tread width.

Paul you are 100% right they are smaller though Goodyears L60's and N50's etc were smaller than the others back in the day as well.

With the number of muscle cars that came with 14x7 wheels, someone should start reproducing a L60-14 bias-belted tire. Not too many options for a wide 14&quot; tire &gt; 26&quot; diameter.
