February 27, 200421 yr comment_70283 Hmm... alright, lots of sizes, but no brands.Cooper makes a great 205-245/60/HR14 tire, their GT radial.Falken, yokohama, and sumitomo make 225/60/HR14's too.If you're on a budget, LeMans makes a good 205/60/HR14, I'm running them on my celica GTS now and I love em. The rims off my celica will fit your cars (I think, it depends on the center bore) as well, and are 14x7".

February 27, 200421 yr comment_70288 What would be the fattest tire you could put on the 14 x 7 280ZX rims? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10352-14-tire-sizes-for-z-cars/#findComment-70288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 27, 200421 yr comment_70289 I know a guy who was running 265/50/R14's on his celica GTS, which was on the stock 14x7 rims, although you will have some rubbing isses since the GTS has big flares...

February 27, 200421 yr comment_70298 Oh yea, I forgot to mention that was only on the rear... He has the stock 225/60/R14's on the front.He says it sticks to the road like glue and the rear end just won't let go.. I'll believe him too.

February 27, 200421 yr comment_70301 I had some 50s on the back of my old AMC Spirit and it would let go easy. Probably because it was so light. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10352-14-tire-sizes-for-z-cars/#findComment-70301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
