15 vs. 14 inch rims

mrichard said

All- just purchased a stock (bone stock) 39,000 mile survivor. It has relatively new tires on 14 inch rims. Anything I need to know about bumping up to 15 inch rims and slightly wider tires? May want to do this at some point.

thanks,

Mark

Actually I liked your car better with the dog dishes.
Does your car have a Slant 6 ?
If so I wouldnt go any bigger than a 205/70-14 tire. You can install them on your 14x4.5" steel wheels.Any bigger dogs a stock slant.

If your car is a 318 I would go to either a 14x5.5" factory Steel or Rallye wheel,with a 215/70-14. BFG T/A of course,white letter out.If you go with a steel wheel,painting them body color is the way to go.
Here is a pic of my 70 with the 14x5.5" with 215/70-14 tire,red-line dog dishes.
