Hi all.
I am considering these to put on my 17" tyres. But what size should I use?
There is four options, being:
1″ Modern Stretched Billboard
2″ Standard Vintage Tire Kit
2.25″ XL
2.5″ XXL
But I am not 100% sure what the sizing means? Is it the height of the letters? What looks best on a 17" rim?
Thanks

So you are recommending 2" for 17" tyres? On your car it seems like they are 15" wheels ...

1"is about the same size as my toyo lettering.
I think that's what I will take
2" is good for the back as the tyre wall is higher.
But I don't know if it will look good?

Not the solid Bill Boards but here are the tires that came on my 1969 NASCAR Cobra. They are now 49 years old but are still on the car.

Kevin,
You mean that you can't see the picture? I see it OK, but maybe others can't either. If so I will try to fix it.

Sorry buddy, nothing.
Sometimes if using my wifes tablet, I won't see a pic, links etc. Here and on other forums, if someone posts several pics, it says the photo is not valid,...WTF ? Lol
Facebook is strange, as it does not show full content ?
I bought a new laptop, just haven't set it up yet. Hoping it'll be better than this tablet.

Question about lettering this tire.
I love the tread look of this Mickey Thompson that is close to the Billboards, but is is discribed of having a "wrinkel wall like a drag slick".
Would the stickers be effected ?
