The forgotten 14" wheel and Tire thread

[Gwarren79]

Lets make this the Official 14" wheel tire thread, and post and Tire wheel questions in this thread.

I picked up these and will mate them to one of my wagons with 205/70r14 tires front and rear. I believe there are from a 1984 Berlinetta (Camaro), but could be had 1978-1986.

These are 14x7, Aluminum that were bought for $80 for the set.

So I have stripped the paint off of them, polished the lip, painted them cast aluminum and grabbed a set of cap off ebay

that looks great.
double check your back spacing, i might be wrong, but i thought they rub on the front upper control arm and/or tie rod.

What size tires are you planning on? I currently have 205/70R14 front and 225/70R14 rear with the factory 14×6 aluminum rims on my 88 Cutlass. I had 235/60R14 front and 245/60R14 rear on it before.

I was thinking 205/70r14 in either white wall or raised white letters. Its a v6 car , no need for bigger tires.

The bigger size fills the wheel wells better. I found the 235/60R14 front and 245/60R14 fit my 88 well. On my 70S Cutlass, they looked tiny. I currently have 205/75R14 and 26-10.5-15 tires and they fit it well, huge rear wheel wells. I am planning on 275/60R15, 295/50R15 would fit easily. The current 205/70R14 and 225/70R14 was to lower rpms on the highway on my 88. Only a 260 powered car with ram air, shorty headers, 2.5" X pipe exhaust, 2004R and 3.42 open gears.
