I had a set of ProTrac tires on the front for a while. They were too short and looked stupid. My friends also thought they looked stupid, but didn't say anything about it until after I took them off. The 6.40 Firestones look a lot better. I don't have a good picture of the car with the short tires on it, but the first picture is with the sort tires and the bottom picture is with the 27 inch Firestones.

You're sitting low, too. Looks like how mine sits with the tires IN the wells. The shorter tire doesn't look bad at all, but the taller tire pic looks more to my liking.

That's just not a good picture with the short tires on it. If it was a direct side shot like the other picture you would be able to see how bad it looked with the short tires. I got my Firestones from Rusty Small (SmallHurst) who is a member here and has a classic tire business.

I’m like Freddie I’ve had too small- short tires on my 15x4’s that looked terrible. This thread has been very informative to me and I’ve decided to buy the M/T radials that ProStockJohn has on his yellow 67 Camaro.
