You could always have someone grind down your current side walls, which will usually about double the width of the white showing. It's something the rat rod crowd does all the time:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHWTa2tAYIchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnwevOfIUqA&feature=fvwp

I was in the same situation, with a good set of modern, thin white wall tires. I had it done to my Packard and they look pretty good. From about 8 feet you can't even tell. My friend actually has a machine in his shop made just for grinding white walls, so it was alot easier to do than using a angle grinder.

This will hold me over until I replace them in a couple of years with something like this:
