Where to get cheep radials for 16x4 rims...

[powerplant]

I am looking for tall & narrow radials. I know Coker has them but I am not up for paying $200 a tire.

They are old wire wheel Ford truck rims 16 dia. by 4 inches wide

I am looking for tire sizes that will work... I imagine I need to stay below 175 in width with probably at least a 65 sidewall?

I've been digging on there but I really don't know what size I can run.

I have found some 215-85-16's that look tall & narrow but I don't know if they will work on a 4" wide rim.

A friend of mine built a speedster with 16 inch V8 wheels and the 215s were the skinniest affordable tires he could find. They look fine.

What sidewall, ...75?? Aren't V8 wheels 5 inches wide?

75s I think. a bit wide for the rims but not bad.
