Great video. Since the 70’s I used to use Armor All on my cars as a teenager. Until one day my dad asked me to use lemon pledge on my tires. It still gave me a long lasting shine without the oil based look and kept my whitewalls clean. Now, in 2022 I’m 61yrs old and I still lemon pledge on all my cars. It works for Over 50yrs.!.😎😇👍
Try it on one of your tires. And armor all on your other tire drive it around and you’ll see a differents it will not collect dirt or dust not like oil base armor all does.
You give out such good information I like just re watching your videos and I feel almost like I learn something new no matter how many times I watch one of your videos. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for sharing the pumice stone method, that worked fantastic! I almost gave up and went back to 15’s with 50 series black walls on my Mini truck, glad I found this video
Wow, mine say 44psi, I would never have thought about putting that much pressure in them. I swear I learn something in every one of your videos! ps- not a creep, I know commenting helps the algorithms. :)
@@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS I used to use that BriteWhite bleach white crap but the vogue tires turns like a milky/gray color no matter how hard I scrubbed n rinsed. The Simple Green. Spray. Run a tires brush over it. Rinse n repeat. Quick n easy...cleaned the wheels decently too with a rag
I know enough to be a idiot but you are a great help Midwest Illinois building my own for the first time been doing air ride was nervous about going wet and couldn’t find any one to explain it not very popular her too but their is a few around
Uniroyal is still not on stock anywhere lol. I had to settle for a milestar for now. Also When running a tube you don't need a second person to help seat the bead 😉
I stocked up on travel stars as soon as I found out there was a shortage. I still have 6 in the garage for 13s a 2 14s for my sons car. All these shortages are crazy. Don’t even get me started on pumpheads.
I know this is an older video but is that a 0.5 inch white wall? I got some 14x7’s for a bagged 1950 Plymouth. I’m trying to decide between. 175s, 185s or 195s. & I’m finding hard to find anything over 0.5 inch white wall.
Hello. I'm trying to put some 15.7 spokes on my 13 Hyundai Accent. Gs It has a 4/100 bolt pattern. The hub of the rim won't fit. Not sure what kind of adapters I need or should I change the bolt pattern to 5/100. ?? Any suggestions
I 100000 percent have never been able to understand how to read tires. But because if this video I still can't understand how to read tires but I'm a little bit less confused now lol 🤣😂🤣 JK killer video bro!!! It helped and I never knew about the nitrogen trick. Cool 😎
Hello i have a question I did the disk conversion to my 62 impala .it used to have a 165/50r14 tire on dane Rims I cahge the tire size to a 215/75/r14 on the same dane rims now my tire won't fit .. I read on a chat room that when you change to disk convertion, it goes out 1/2 .can you help out Can I do ?? Go back to small tires ?? Or change to a different rim . Thanks for your time God bless you
I have an important question I got some 20s no juice just wire Wheels and new tires and the air pressure is good I BUT have 4 different name brand tires since I bought it from a dude on FB and one tire has no (balancing) no weights and I'm worried while I'm driving more than 40mph it sounds like a tire is about to fall off but when I check the knock offs it's all tight. Maybe I have my knock offs too tight or what do you think
I would agree with you but I have cleaned white walls and not driven my truck for 2 weeks and came back and they were brown again from sitting in the sun. They were only brown on the side that the sun hit.
Your probably right I never leave my car in the sun ,I've been lowriding since the early 80's I use sandpaper to clean my white walls and thanks for helping every body whith your videos .
Too bad Remington no longer carries the 1 inch whitewall in 155/80/13 or any size for that matter . It's a good thing I can make my own by putting the mounted tire on my balancer with the balancer off then I use the same stone I use for patches give the tire a spin and buff the whitewall to desired thickness
Motors don’t go out as often as people think. Solenoids go out first generally. To answer your question, easiest and quickest way to know for sure is to swap motors with a pump you know is working correctly. My advise would be to first charge you batteries fully, then hit the switch and if it still doesn’t work, take a voltage meter and make sure the voltage is making it to the post on the motor, if it’s not you have a solenoid problem, if you do have voltage at the post, you most likely have a motor issue. Before buying a new one, I have posted a video on how to clean it, try that first and see if it starts working again.
Well the short answer is, you don’t without major modification. You would be better off to go with a 14x6 or 14x5.5 on a stock rear end. Or if you want to stick with the 14x7, you’ll need to swap out the rear end to a G body rear end. That’s what we did on the Fleetwood in the videos. I will say that I wish we would have just gone with the narrower wheel size. Swapping over everything to a G Body rear end was a pain and not worth it. Just my opinion.
Maybe some of you guys can help me out, recently put new tires on my cutlass for some reason even when I had worn tires it’s leaving marks on my drive way why is that? They’re like 2 weeks old I barely drive the car. I do live in AZ could it be the heat I leave it in the garage and when I pull it out it just starts leaving marks
If you alignment is off like most lowriders, that can contribute to leaving marks. Hotter the pavement the more likely. Also, with lowriders less tread is touching the pavement so the tread that is touching has more weight which can cause the tire to kinda grind into the pavement. Not much you can do for this problem.
@@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS thanks man I appreciate it. Ever since I got the car I’ve been doing a lot of the work myself because of you. I do have bad alignment the front tires only straighten out when I lock the front All the way up. And yeah it’s been hotter then hell lately out here thanks again man
@@LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS you should post some videos on that whenever you have a chance. I ended up getting me another grand marquis by the way so I’ll be getting some a arms from Jeff I think I’m gonna practice on those
Best thing I ever did was to buy 5 wheels, back in the day buddy added a spare to his trunk and it saved my night
Yep, having a spare knock off makes things so much easier

His example 155/80r13, 155 is width in millimeters sidewall is 80% of 155mm then rim diameter 13. It's not that complicated.
amazing vid! lots of content and knowledge! thanks
Nice one bro thank u for the tip bless u and family I'm Louis from Hamden ct
What tubes do you use. The one in the video don’t look like its running tubes
Standard tubes, the one in the video is just a spare and doesn’t have a tube. Good eye though.
Thanks for the info getting ready to join the lowrider cultura
WHat model number tube for a 13 x 7? Do you have to do both tires and how does the tube affect hopping and driveability?
Thanks for the good information 👍

Or change to a different rim .

Why didn't you mention 5:20 × 13 inch tires ?
Why 13s and 14s? If you can get enough sidewall (cushion), why not 15s, or 17s and 18s?
Can anyone send link to where i can get tubes for 14x7 wire wheels

What brand of inner tubes do you run?
The brake pads make your white walls brown my car has drum brakes in the rear and the white wall is always whiter than the front tire
I would agree with you but I have cleaned white walls and not driven my truck for 2 weeks and came back and they were brown again from sitting in the sun. They were only brown on the side that the sun hit.

Were can I order a tude for 14x7 whire wheels
Do you use Bias Ply or radials? If bias, how many ply?
Too bad Remington no longer carries the 1 inch whitewall in 155/80/13 or any size for that matter . It's a good thing I can make my own by putting the mounted tire on my balancer with the balancer off then I use the same stone I use for patches give the tire a spin and buff the whitewall to desired thickness

Travelstar 155/80r13 is what I run.

Those tires will be okay for my 1980 El Camino?

Hello, what psi do I use for 18 inch wires /vogues on a 67 4 door inpala? I don't do any hydraulics, hopping, or 3 wheel motion, just cruising
Should be good at the suggested rating on the tire. Around 40 is my guess.
Thank you

14x7 Reverse will fit on the rear of a Fleetwood as long as you have the Dayton offset and use 175/75R14 or 5.20x14 tires.

Where do yall go to have hydraulics installed?
Most of us install them ourselves or at least a portion of it.

You should but no you don’t have to.

I’ve been Lowriding for 22+ years and I still learn new things from time to time. This may be beginner stuff but we all started somewhere.
