Thought this was an interesting quick read:
MSN
I have always been very fond of the wheel/look. I was lucky enough I believe in the 60's there were only two? Goodyear Racing Tire shops/distributors in the country.
One being in Ft Lauderdale on Federal Hwy. When I got the Polara 500 at age 16, I was working union construction in the summer and my first big upgrade was ordering 14" Torq Thrusts for my car at the Goodyear race outlet. I instructed them I wanted 7" wide wheels. They installed 14x6 and my dad picked up the car while I was working. I was rather irritated and convinced him to take it back, which is a known problem once tires are mounted.
We compromised and they got me 7" in the rear. They had to tweak the inside rear fenders. I had the widest tires in the HS.
