    Will a 15x7 (with 215 7015 Goodrich TAs) 4x114.3 rim fit on my '71?

    It should 4x114.5 is 4x4.5 bolt circle

    As long as the back space is in check (rwd) you sshould have no issues

    The tires your looking at might be a bit tall, almost 27" in diameter.

    Factory tires were closer to 25".

    Also- check the hub diameter. Not all wheels are the same!

    Just tried putting 5x4.5" (same bolt pattern as my Mav) RWD Conquest/ Starion wheels on the Mav last weekend, but the hub diameter was way to big for the wheels.
