    i have a 72 Maverick grabber and I just picked up a set of magnum 14” wheels. I have found a set of new 235/60/14 tires but was wondering if I would run into rubbing issues on the coils etc. everything is stock suspension wise. Any info would be much appreciated.

    I have that size on the back wheels of my car. Might be a little wide for the front.

    I also, think a little wide on front. I think you will have some rub issues. I have 205*70's on 7" rims and can feel contact w/ inner fender panels on tight turns. I do have almost 4deg. of castor which may have bearing on my issue.

    I formerly had those tires on mine. I never had a rubbing issue. I had done the old school lowering with cut coils. I only had 2 degrees of caster and 1/2 negative camber.
