    Will these fit my 4 lug 14 inch Mav? If so what rim width should I get and what backspacing? My plan is to put these rims with bf goodrich radial TA tires that are 215 70 r 14. I have 195s on them now but would like a little bigger tire. Will this combo work? Also I just aligned my front end will I have to do it again with bigger tires?

    The only thing I can add about those wheels is that they are very prone to rust unless you maintain them regularly. Just a headsup. I would suggest spending a little more for an aluminum wheel.

    My car will be garaged and I expect to keep it up but my problem is I can not find many wheels that fit the 4 lug and I do not want to do the conversion. I do not mind spending extra money for aluminum or other rims. Stmanser found these and I do like the look. I would rather have cragers but they do not make them for the 4 lug 14 inch. Or if they do, I have not found them. I am open to suggestions from anyone here on the board. My wife gave me the go ahead to get new tires and rims and I do not want to give her time to changer her mind if you know what I mean. What about the other questions in the original post? What other rims do you know of that will look good and are aluminum and will fit the 4 lug?

    Don't buy those wheels, we use those for Winter Wheels up here in Canada, save your money and buy something a little nicer.

    How about these? Last time I searched for this size nothing came up at summit racing.

    I still need help though with the back spacing, rim width etc.

    Also, will these cragar lugs work

    Almost any 7" wheel will fit on the front with 3 3/4" backspacing or less, and any 8" with 4" or less backspacing for the rear.

    Don't buy any boat trailer wheels for your car,get a set of Welds or Rodlites.
