Ballarat Vintage Car Tyres

One-size-fits-all doesn’t work when it comes to cars with character. Whether it’s a rolling restoration, an engine-swapped street beast or a kit build from the ground up, the tyres need to match the setup—and the story. At ARB Budget Tyres in Ballarat, we supply and fit specialist tyres, including vintage car tyres, with a focus on safety, fitment and style.


We work with custom builds, period cars and hard-to-fit vehicles that fall outside standard sizing. From rare tread patterns to unique profiles and performance-focused rubber, we know what works and what doesn’t. We’ll help you avoid tyres that rub, sit awkwardly or just don’t suit the car’s needs.


Get in touch with us on 0413 786 820 to speak with a team that treats every vehicle like a one-off—and knows how to match tyres to personality and performance.

Vintage Car Tyres with Period Style

Fitting tyres to a classic isn’t just about diameter—it’s about honouring the original look and feel. Older cars often came with tall sidewalls, narrow footprints and specific tread styles that modern tyres just don’t replicate. We help owners find vintage car tyres that stay true to the era while holding up to today’s roads.


Whether you're after cross-ply replicas, period-correct whitewalls or radial conversions that ride smoother without losing style, we source hard-to-find tyres and check every fitment spec. That includes offset, load index and even centre bore—because on a classic, those little things make a big difference.


From show cars to Sunday cruisers, we make sure the tyres fit your car's heritage as much as its wheels.

Hot Rod Tyres That Hold Up

Hot rods ask more from tyres—more grip, more heat resistance, more attitude. With custom widths, big rear ends and lowered clearances, they need a tyre setup that’s strong, safe and sharp-looking. We help you pick rubber that matches your rod’s torque, stance and build goals.


We’ve fitted tyres on rods with everything from drag-ready suspensions to retro stylings and weekend strip warriors. Whether you’re after classic pie-crust edges, soft compound rears or big-and-little setups, we check clearances, load needs and rolling diameter so nothing scrubs or sags.


Get the traction and toughness you need without compromising that street-shaking silhouette.

Tyres for Car Kits

Car kits come with their own set of quirks—modified guard space, unusual donor parts, and no factory specs to fall back on. We help kit builders get tyre setups that fit safely and handle like they should. Whether it’s a mid-engine replica or a front-heavy roadster, we find tyres that suit both the car’s design and how it’ll be driven.


You’ll get help with sizing, load rating, speed compliance and offset—things that matter when you’re blending parts from different platforms. And if you’re chasing a specific look (staggered stance, retro profile, motorsport edge), we’ll make sure you get it without giving up grip or road legality.


Custom doesn’t mean compromise. The right tyres will make your build feel complete—and ready to drive.
