Since i just put 235/60/14's on the back i better add them:

25.1"x9.5" 235/60/14

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".

Yeah the post was more for people who want a cheap way to lower their car by changing tires sizes.

What would be the fattest tire you could put on the 14 x 7 280ZX rims?

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...

Would you have problems rolling a tire like that on corners?

[Teranfirbt]

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.

I had some 50s on the back of my old AMC Spirit and it would let go easy. Probably because it was so light.
