thanks guys! i believe the tire is a mh90/21? i believe it is the only 21 inch whitewall you can get. the bike is nasty it needs a good polishing up.i ust couldnt wait to get some pics of it so i could see it. i havent rode it yet , they're calling for freezing rain and sleet for this weekend so maybe in a week or so it will be warm again so i can go for a ride and check it out. as of now i dont know if im gonna need to lower the front or not. it looks pretty level to me. the rear hasnt been lowered either so i think that i might not need too...

I havent had ANY luck finding a "fat" 21'' white wall tire either. I love the look of a 21'' spoke but think that the 90 size tire on the narrow wheel looks out of place on a bike so big (my 2cents).

I def. think you should lower the bike to get it on the ground. Nothing looks better with a bigger front wheel then a lower stance..
