Hi PackarDan

Thanks for that link. I looked at their website and would have loved some wide whitewalls! Ja, but the prices! Will never be able to get that stuff shipped here!
I would surely like to know what will be the best as I am confused. It seems that the problem with the 48-50's is clearance in especially the rear wheel well. I do not want tires to rub the body at the back or in front when turning. As it is impossible for me to get bias ply tires I will have to go for radials although they might look a bit different/strange on the car. Some say they do drive nice but that slow speed manoevreubility is not good. Maybe someone else can chip in here as well? Do you think the 225's will be worth it? I hope the load rating is enough - 1874 pounds. Nobody has said anything about that yet - seeing that the Packard is such a heavy car? Any advise or opinion is appreciated in order to make an informed decision!
