What size wheels and tires could I put on this 1957 Custom Royal

[Justin Helmers]

I will keep the stock height as well as the stock wheels but I would like to put 15s or bigger on this with some classic custom wheels. Any ideas?

Lol. I'll know for sure soon! He sent me 30 close pix of it. It is not perfect but very nice. Scoping out some costs I may incur after the purchase.

Welcome -- From Pa. --- Keep it, as is -- looks sharp.

In sure you will get 15's on it, as i mentioned in the other thread the truck diff was wider and the stock wheels still fit.from the looks of rear wheels they are too far under the car in my opinion.
59 regent was what i was playing with. If i recall the truck rear was near 4" wider. I used wheels originally on car.

Here you go......seriously, I'd leave those wheels on there. '57 Lancer hubcaps are desirable and sought after.

I remember riding around in a friend's 57 or maybe a 58when I was in college in 63. That damn car was fast; asked him where the spark plug wires were. He said under those covers!

I bet some Kelsey Hayes wires would look sweet, NICE CAR!!

What size and offset is the factory wheels front and rear?

15" x 7 Cragar Chrome Smoothies with some modern narrow whitewall (or blackwall) tires. You can't go wrong.

The wide whites and spinner caps are perfect. Welcome from Waterloo.

I run 15" police wheels on my 55. I have seen them before on newer forward look cars.
