I just got a set of 20 inch rims for my 1929. I have not been able to find 20 size tires. What tires should I get for my rims. I have only been able to find 21 inch tires.

Lucas has them, and I suspect Coker does too. http://www.lucasclassictires.com/20-Tires_c45.htm Cheers, Dean

20" tires for a 29 are unique. Also used on certain years of Chrysler and probably other vehicles. I got mine from Kelsey Tire. At that time they only carried white walls. Generally the lower priced cars would not have white wall tires. Kelsey dyed the white walls before they sent them to me. Saved about $400 for a set of 5 tires, 6 tubes, and 6 flaps.

I see my error. I was looking at the wrong aspect ratio. I was looking for the 440/450 not the 475. Thanks for all the help.

Actually 450 is the correct size but no one is making them so all of us with 1929s have to use the 475-20s.
