Re: '57 Porterbuilt 20" tires

Id probably go with a 245/35 front. 285/40 should give you nice meat in the rear.
Toyo makes front/rears those sizes.
And I wouldn't worry too much about one being car and one truck as long as you stick with a good brand tire.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I'm not worried about the car vs. truck tires. I agree that as long as the are well made, it shouldn't make a difference on this project. My Jeep and Rover are a different story since they are beat up offroad.

I should have looked closer to you comment. The 285/40 is the size I can't find any options for. Checked on Toyo.com and Tire Rack only shows a couple, at least on their mobile site. They do show one in a 22". The do have a few in 245/20 or 245/22 which are almost 1.5" smaller.
