I think the tire size and profile make all the difference.

The 3.50-16 should have a taller sidewall than the stock 3.25's, making the narrow WW's look different.

How does the narrow WW line up on the Kendas..do they fully cover up the sidewall size and brand markings?

I like the narrow 1'' WW's on 3.25's....here's mine on now defunct Kings Tire 3.25's

Brewsky- no the Kendas have a pretty large sidewall also. ( they are 3.50 ) so that is probably the big difference. I agree those narrow white walls look great on your tires. So, tire selection is key! I bought the tires, because I liked the looks of them, then thought... hmmm whitewall inserts? I still love the Kendas, and MIGHT try to trim down a set of the WWW. I will need a spare set just in case I don't like it. (can you sense some hestiation? lol)

So it looks to me like the only way to have the white wall tires is with the white wall inserts or portawalls. Does anyone know if there is an actual true white wall tire out there that would fit the stock rims on these dreams?

There is, although they are not in continuous production as I understand it.....may need to call them on availability.
