Hi again,

Charlie Larsen has 7.50 x 16's (or the radial equivalent) on his '53 
Minerva, so it should work.  You may not be able to turn through as small 
a radius however.  Tom Tollefson has the same on his '52 Solihull Rover 
and I can attest that it goes at least 90 km/hr -- perhaps he'll tell you 
how he did it.
