Old Tire Size Conversion?
Bear with me.........bumping this older thread up so I can get some tires on this car
I pulled the front and rear tires out of storage and aired them up to 32 PSI
Rear G50-14 (Firestone Super Sport) mounted on 14x8s
The front GR70-14 are mounted on factory Ralleys
The rears are a tad too wide for me and I would not mind something smaller
I aired up the tires and placed a level on the tread, and then measured from the ground to the level
Rear: 24-5/8" tall and 10" wide tread
Front: 27" tall and 7-1/4" wide tread
The rears are mounted on 14x8 Indy slot mags
The new front wheels are also aluminum slot mags that are 14x6
Some modern rear tire sizes I have found:
265/50R14: 24.4" x 10.4"
245/60R1: 25.6" x 9.6"
235/60R14: 25.1" x 9.3"
Are there other tire sizes closer to the current rear tire size just not as wide?
Some modern front tire sizes I have found:
215/75R14: 26.7" x 8.5"
215/70R14: 25.9" x 8.5"
205/75R14: 26.1" x 8.1"
205/70R14: 25.3" x 8.1"
Do these still seem TOO wide?
Thanks for helping me out guys
