Pics not good enough TBH , but 1.5's would be for a junior cruiser like CW TFM .

They will take a 1.75 with no probs, not sure though if they would be era correct, I think 1.5's came onto the market around late 85.  They will look OK, it is very hard to tell the difference unless put alongside a 1.75 as it's only a quarter of an inch difference.  The 1.75's do come up from time to time so unless you are in a real hurry to get it built I'd hold on for a set of those.

Different size rims there , I would avoid .

As Marty says 1.5's can run 1.75 tyres no probs . You need better pics though to find out approx year etc , my advice is don't buy things to kinda "make do" unless you've ants in ya pants and are seriously impatient ! lol .

Remember , the best builds are'nt done in 5 minutes  ;)
