What wheels are you running? While the tire is not too big for the car, it is too wide for the stock 4-1/2" wheels, so hopefully you are running wheels that are 6 inches wide.
what about 7 inch wide on 14? would 215 be a good size or even go up to 225? im going to be buying some original steel rally rims soon and want to make sure i get a size that would look good on it.
Anywhere from 6 inch to 7 inch is wide enough for those tires. A 225/70 will be too tall. You'll need a 60-series if you want to run a 225.
hmm yeah then ill have to go with the 215/70/14 then. bf goodrich are the only ones im seeing online who make 225 60s 14 and those are more money than i can scrape together at the moment, thanks for the help
I run 205 75 14 ... 26.11 tall, 8.07 wide the 215 70 14 are 25.85 tall, and 8.46 wide. 225 70 14 is width 8.86, 26.40 tall.. the height is cool the width will kill ya Mine are as tall as you can get and they are plenty wide for stock appearance. I cant hardly break them loose whilst cornering. There is a 215 75 14 but they are trailer wheels (ST) not allowed for passenger cars(P). Side wall flex is my nemesis... I just bought today Uniroyal Tigerpaw AWP II. I'm real excited to try them... from tirebuyer.com Been runnin Hercules MR IV.. been a good tire and was cheap. Blew the side wall out at 50 yesterday in the tunnel under the LAX runway. I like the stock look of hubcaps but wish I had 15" or 17" tires to get less sidewall flex.. I have steel Granada disc steelies that are 1/2 inch wider than the stock mav comet steelies, and the sidewall doesnt pooch out like it used to. if you put those 70's on a stock wheel they are gonna look all balloon-ey. and check with the tire manufacturer for the rim size range acceptable.
