I'm looking at the Coker Classic Nostalgia Radial tires because they seem to be similar to the original 670-15 but come in a Red Line radial with a similar tread design of that time period . The 185R15 has a tire diameter of 27.00 in. and a tread width of 4.75 inches . They are minimum wheel width of 5.00 in. and maximum wheel width of 6.50 in. What do you think ? How will they look on a 57 Corvette with the Torq Thrust D ( Black Center ) wheels ?
Ok you asked for opinions so here goes. IMCO I would look into Diamondback radials for the red lines which I think would look great on your car because they use current tire technology for their sidewall conversions. As far as TTs go I think gray spokes would look better as they give a more period correct look and if I'm seeing your Corvette colors correctly they blend with the silver coves.

If you decide to try the Coker Classic Nostalgia Radials, let us know what you think.
I have 185r15 on 15x4.5 front runners. They are skinny but look great at 27 inches tall and narrow. I like the drag racer look. I got the tires off eBay, they ride nice, smooth and quite.

Since you are putting these on a C-1 Consider TTO as opposed to TT's I believe, and many agree they are a better looking wheel. I don't think they fit disc brakes...
