I don't have a Stocker, so it's none of my business. But, I wonder what would be the point? Wider tires are safer on these fast Stockers we have now.

We are old Jeff! LOL. Atlas Bucrons are what I started on. I latervran the 7" Firestone slicks on 4" wheels. Keystone gave 4 wheels to class winners at the Spring Nationals, at the old Dallas track (actually in Lewisville) one year. Giving everybody two 4" for the front, two 6" for the rear. I got four 4", those Firestones hooked harder on 4" wheels. The local Firestone race tire sales guy (John Calb) just shook his head when he mounted them.
They wrinkled so bad they pinched the tubes. Got tired of patching tubes, and ran them tubeless. About a MPH faster tubeless anyway.
Good old days. LOL

We didn't need a tach with those 7" tires......you shift when the car was going straight.

M&H makes a Vintage Drag Slick with 7" tread. 88" circumference would make it 28" tall.
