My brother has a 1962 Valiant and he bought some 14x7 rims for it.

Will a 26" tall tire fit on an early A body? What size tires do you normally run on them, it's got 23.5" tires right now but they look tiny!

Is that your bros '62? That's a '63 in the pic.
I had a set of 215-70x14 on a '66 V100, I think they were about 26" tall.

Yes, I meant 1963.


We are looking at some 215/60/14s, they are 24 1/4" tall. The tires on his car are a little over 23" tall right now....
