    Hello everybody. I currently have 14x7" wheels on the back of my car, and I like the way they look and I can't afford new 15" wheels. The problem is I currently have 245/60R14 tires on the back and I want bigger, but I can't seem to find a bigger size for a 14" wheel. Does anyone know if there is a bigger size made for a 14" wheel? I want like a 255/60 or 265/60, but I can't find any.

    Here is a pic of my car and to me, the tires just look too small. I want something to fill up the wheel wells. If i could find somethin bigger, I think the stance would be perfect for me.

    225-70-14's Are an inch taller than your current tires. I think thats about as big a round as your gonna get in a 14"

    14" tires are getting harder to find these days. I noticed that BFG has removed some of the sizes from the charts on their site, and I have some of the sizes they don't list anymore.

    Good luck with the tires...I tried to get 245 and 255/60-14 for my Sprint.NO ONE has em or makes em any more.Coker didnt have em either when I was looking for em.A s for BFG...If I wanted to wait a few MONTHS they said they could find me some. Do your self a favor...Go to 15" rims once you have the scratch and dont look back.Good luck!!!

    Coker has them listed on there site for 97 a piece. I am taking that as they have them in stock. But it will be a few weeks before I am ready to order them, so I want know until then.
