Hi,
Good morning. Just another day in Paradise. I just purchased a new set of whitewalls from Diamon Back Classic tires in Conway, SC. They are radials but look a lot like bias and drive great. Their phone is 888-922-1642. They can help you on the correct size and they will drop ship them to you.
Have a great day,
Fred

Varies from 2" to about 2 3/4", with wider widths more likely on earlier production cars, per NCRS.
