Will 225/60/14’s rub?

[philbar73]

I know the information is here but I find conflicting information. Will 225/60/14’s rub? I have a late 73 240Z with a stock suspension (poly bushings and Bilstien shocks) and nice old slotted wheels. 0 offset 6 inch wide. The valance is gone and I have an airdam. Is this a good choice?

They shouldn't rub

You find conflicting information because even with the same specications, tire sizes differ between manufacturers. Before I switched to Panasports (225/50-16), I had the same slotted mags with the same tire size as you, 225/60-14. Tires are Yokohamas and there were no fit problems when I was running them. Look up your tires on tirerack and it will tell you the true dimensions.

I'm running 225/60R14s on my Scarab -- No problems or interference at all.

The valance is where you will rub, if it is gone, you should have no problem. I'm running 235/60 14's all the way around, rubbed on all 4 corners due to weak springs, replaced the front springs which eliminated 90% of the contact. once I finish the rears, should no longer be a problem. So, if you have soft springs, you might rub a bit.
