I got a set of 14" kregors off a friend of mine, the front rims are 5.5" wide and the rear rims are 8.5" wide...Im going for the nose-in-the-weeds look...whats the smallest I can put on the front and the largest I can put on the rear wheels without it looking....how can I put this nicely.....stupid? Id prefer to fill up the rear wheel wells, I'll shackle the rear end or flip the rear axle if needed to raise the car. I talked to a friend of mine and he said a set of F70-14(195R14) for the front and G60-14(245/60R14) for the rear, good suggestion or not? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Wont be carrying any spares....lol so I'll be SOL if I get a flat... 45 views and only 1 response? I was expecting you guys to be a bit more opinionated and suggestive.
no help from me, I have never dealt with 14" wheel/tires. I would still carry a spare IMO, it will atleast get you somewhere.
Try this link:http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp?action=submit Plug in different sizes and compare. A 275/60/15 is the largest I have seen used on the rear without serious mods.
Another tire size calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html This site will give you a visual pic as well. It might come in useful to visualize the bigger tire profile. I always get thrown when it comes into figuring the rim offset into the scheme of things though.
