Tire size for 14X7 aluminum wheels


widget777

Recommended Posts

I have a 78 280z with aluminum wheels that are 14X7. I have 195x70 x 14 tires that I want to replace. Is there a larger size tires that I can use on these rims? I am consdiering a set of Michelin pilot exacto a/s tires that are HR rated. Does anyone have any experience with these tires?? If so, please give me your feedback. Thanks.

If you want to stay close to stock height, the best is 225/60-14, but there's not much left available in that size anymore. 215/60-14 is a bit shorter, but still a decent fit. But I doubt those Michelins are available in that size either.

I am sure the Hotwire wheels on my 75 260Z are 14x7inch. The tyres I have on them now are 205 wide and I can't fit my finger between the tyre and the spring on the inside of the front wheels. I couldn't tell you the tyre brand at the moment (the car is at home), but they aren't anything expensive. As the car drives and the wheel spins, I expect the tyre will get a little thinner (if anything) and the clearance will increase, but I am not comfortable having the tyre that close to the spring anyway. Next time around, I will probably put 195s on the front.
