    Suggestions on tires?

    Looking to get some new tires and would prefer whitewalls but I don't see many options. I bought Shinko 777 130/90/16 and the rear tire is hitting the brake stay bar and swing arm. If you have any suggestions that would fit a 79 special cruiser that would be greatly appreciated.
