    I have 225 14's, but I want something wider, and with BFG T/A's, a 225 it the largest 70 series tire they make these days :(
    The diameter is is just under an inch different...I have a set of 235's, but they are 20 years old now, I wouldn't go too far on them.

    Thanks for the pic's! A 60 series tire just looks small...I may wait and find some 1991 Crown Vic 15" steel wheels, and see what works with them.

    Not on my car. I had to roll the fender lips to keep the left wheel from getting eaten on hard launches. 245/60 fit fine.

    But we are now talking 15" rims, when this guy has 14s. But . the width really shouldn't matter either way

    If 60s are too small stuff some 28 x 11.5 15 under it.

    Wow I wouldn't have thought 11.5's will fit. What length rear and what width and backspace on the wheels?
