| Post subject: | tire size question |
I have a 66 valiant that I purchased American racing outlaw II wheels for. They have a rim width of 7 inches and a diameter of 14 inches. What size tires can I run without fender interference ? I was thinking of P215/60R14. Will these fit ? |

Yes, those will fit and are a great size for that rim on that car. Make sure you have enough backspacing, though. 3.75 - 5" is a good range. 4.5 is perfect. Lou |

What's the backspacing or offset? |

backspacing is 4 inches. I believe these wheels were made just for he valiant because of the 5 x 4 bolthole spacing. |

4" backspace with 215/60s or 225/60s will be perfect. Lou |

That's what we have on our car. And yes we picked them because they seemed like the only thing out there you could buy new with the small bolt pattern =). Really puts a damper on getting gunmetal Torque Thrusts on the Valiant hehe. I believe we got 14x6's and we didn't have any clearance probs. |

I have 215/70R14 on factory steelies, and I can get them to just barely catch the fender lip on the front at full lock, over big bumps/dips. I think maybe 3-4 times in 4k miles. So you should be good with 60 series. |
