what size tires on small 4 lug wheels

I am looking to replace the bias ply tires that came with my 70 mav. The current tires are 185/75/14. They are small. the wheels are the smaller 4 lug steelies. Wondering what the maximum size tire I can put on these small wheels. I was thinking 205/70/14 or 195/75/14, anyone have any suggestions? Also, if i wanted to go with a different rim, are there any good aftermarket wheels being made with this pattern?

 

you will have plenty of room with any tire on that rim. get the biggest tire that will fit that width rim...

 

that is what i am asking, the rim looks like it is only about 5 inches wide, will a 205/70 fit on it?

That rim is 4 1/2" wide.

 

go to ...tire rack...and put in the size of your rim, they will give you the tire size for it...

 

I've had good luck through tire rack, probably have ordered three/four sets. The UPS guy always says he knows it me when tires are put on his truck!

 

i dont think tire rack has an option to input a width of rim... Also, they dont list 4 lug maverick as a vehicle. I was just looking to see if anyone had actually mounted tires on a 70 mav stock steelie.

 

205 is too wide for a 4.5" wheel.

 

225x70x14fits great on the 6 inch 4-lug maverick orginal wheels

 

All tire charts, list the recommended rim width, and it can very from tire brands.

 

No, really it doesn't. I had some 195/70s on a 4.5" wheel and the sidewalls were majorly sucked in. A 225 would just be outrageous, and the recommended rim width is 6" to 7.5".

Don't be telling people that a 225 "fits great" on a 4.5" rim, because that's just inaccurate information and it's not helping anyone.

 

195/75/14 is about it if keep the stock wheels.

 

We always know, we're good like that!

 

Now.....there is the rare occassion a Maverick (I have seen two) has the 4-lug factory steel wheel that can be 6" wide.
