Hello everyone,

We have been building my 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass for the last three years. We are finally at a point to finalize the tires. I am having a set of Billet 18 x 10 and 18 x 9 wheels cut in the next month or so but now I am just trying to narrow down tire choice.

The car will mainly be used on the street but we will be participating and four or five autocross events annually.

In a perfect world I would be able to find a white lettered option to go with the look of the stock inspired wheel.

Thanks for any input you can give.

Ben

I was thinking this with a taller side wall ...

More than likely 295 45 in rear with 265/75 45s in front

Depending on the brand of tire you buy, some may lend themselfs to painting the letters better than others.
