255/30R24 Gold Stripe White Wall Tire for 24 Inch Wheels
The 255/30R24 gold stripe white wall tire is a custom built, low profile tire for 24 inch wheels. It pairs a crisp white sidewall with a gold line, a look that suits gold and chrome wire wheels, luxury sedans, coupes and show builds. Each tire is handmade in the USA and built to order, in the same 24 inch fitment as our red stripe version, so you can match the stripe to your wheel finish.
If you’re searching for gold line tires, this is the proportion that works on a low slung 24 inch build. The 30-series sidewall is tall enough to show the gold stripe cleanly while keeping a sharp, planted stance.
What the numbers on a 255/30R24 mean

Wheel and fitment guide
- Wheel width: a 255 mm tire generally suits wheels about 9 to 10 inches wide. Always confirm against the exact tire spec and your wheel.
- Check clearance first: 24 inch builds depend on suspension, offset and fender clearance. Send us your wheel specs before ordering.
- Vehicles we commonly fit: luxury sedans and coupes with aftermarket 24 inch wheels, such as the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Challenger, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT5, Lincoln Continental and BMW 7 Series. These are not factory sizes, so fitment depends on your wheel setup.
- Not sure what fits? Call 323-425-9357 or contact us and we’ll check fitment with you.
Best wheel pairings for a gold stripe
A gold stripe works best with:
- Gold or gold-and-chrome two-tone Dayton wire wheels
- Chrome 24 inch wire wheels for a clean, classic contrast
- Forgiato or other forged chrome wheels for a modern take

How it’s made and delivered
Every white wall tire is handmade to order, so allow about 2 to 3 weeks for production. Once it’s finished, it ships by FedEx or UPS with tracking and insurance, typically arriving 3 to 5 business days later.
Care tips for white wall tires
- Wash with mild soap, water and a soft brush as soon as they get dirty.
- Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads that can damage the white rubber.
- Rinse thoroughly and let them dry before storage.
- Low profile tires on 24 inch wheels are more vulnerable to potholes and curbs, so drive and park carefully.
