Whitewalls 101

Hi Guys,
I need some help. I'm going to put whitewalls on my 70 Fastback. I have stock rims and Hankook Centum K702 tyres (165/80R15). I'm looking at geting the fat(ish) wide whitewalls not the thin strip. Can I get Atlas white wall inserts to fit my current set-up? If yes, what is the installation process? The rims are about to be re-chromed. Or what are the other options? (paint?). I'm in adelaide.
Cheers
Nick

Yep the flappers will fit. You will need to deflate you tyre, slip the atlas over the beading, and then reinflate. Make sure you get some tyre grease to avoid the flapper digging into your tyre - it also helps to dissipate heat.
