DOH! I thought this was in the Off-Topic forum

ok drop the Tudor body and nailhead but you could use the Radirs and Cheaters with adapters!

The spindle mounts are going on the above street car, and you're right....the tires are NOS Avon speedmasters 3.5" x 18"  they have the same overall diameter of (about 23") as a 15" rim on 135's.......i had a total nightmare locating them (from the US....ebay)   plenty of options if you have 17" similar wheels....but not for the 18's........almost all other tires had a diameter of 25/26" which just wont work visually

as Rick said they're the Radir remakes of the old Halibrands......they're a work of art.
