Hello! I have a 1970 Plymouth GTx with biased tires on it and their rims are fourteen inches. What size radial tires whill fit on the fornt and back wtihout clearance problems? Thanks.

Google search on the top of the p[age found this. http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub...&gsc.page=1

I run 235 fronts and 255 rears with room to spare, but mine are 15s.

As I'm sure you know, in this day and age your choices in a 14 inch tire will be limited. Even 15s are getting harder to find.

Thank you for giving me the link to the Google seacrh b,ut those are all coming up as fifteen icnch rims. I'm looking for someone who has a Roadrunner or a GTx to be able to give me the answer. Thank you though for trying!

Thank you very much. understand their hard to come by, but if anyone else knows of anything it would be helpful.

The factory tire size F70-14 is equivalent to 215/70/14, but due to "round" vs. "square" shoulders & sidewall bulge they appear smaller.

The slightly larger G70-14 and/or 225/70/14 tires will fit & are available with limited choices.

i run 235/60/15 and 275/60/15 on mine. i have tried to get 295's on the rear, isn't going to happen. maybe with rolling the fender and some BFH work on the inner fender wells.

Do you know how wide a tire in fourteen inches on the front and the back would fit on my GTX? Thanks.

It's gonna be more what will fit your wheels properly, B-bodies have huge wheelwells and will take a lot of tire, even up front. If you are stuck on using your current rims your choices are very limited but I would suggest 225/70s on all 4 corners or 225/70s up front and 245s in the rear so a little more stance. If you provide your wheel size we might be able to go a little fatter in the rear, if anything is still available.

14" tires are difficult to get. If there's any way possible I think I would look into something else.
My 70 Satellite is identical to the GTX and has pretty big 17" tires on it. I don't think you can get a 14" tire that is too big for a GTX rear wheel well.
If your hardcore on the 14's there are some old bias tires that are reproduced. Maybe L-60's an the rear with G-60 up front should get the stance right.
They do make a 28"x9" slick in a 14". That's probably as big as you'll find.
Kind of tough to help out with the information provided...

There are NO G60 or L60 14" tires being reproduced.

If you are going for the FACTORY STOCK LOOK with stock 14x5.5" "ROAD" or "RALLYE" wheels (14x6.0" w/hub caps-wheel covers) the 225/70/14 is your best/only option.
245/60/14s are available & will fit the wheel wells, but are SHORT! & should be mounted on wider wheels.

I would like to know if I can get to 225 70's in 14 inches on the fronnt and would it be possible to get 225 60s on the back? I'm not sure if I want wider tires on the back. If not sure if I'm asking this question properly. I'm not really sure what the dimensions mean. Sorry, if I keep asking the same question over and over. But I don't want to buy the wrong tires.

225-70 and 225-60/14's will fit no problem.

OzHemi, are these the size tires you recommend or do you recommend a different size? Or do you think those are alright? Thanks.

Man I know not correct...but 14's look like crap....

You might check the tires available, I don't see any 245 60 14s on the Summit site. I would think you want your rear tires at least as tall as your fronts with MAYBE a 1/2 inch shorter still looking OK. As for the tire numbers the first number ie 225 is the tread width, the series/second number ie 60 or 70 is the heigth of the side wall which is a percentage of the tread width 60% or 70%, the third number is the size of the rim diameter, 14, 15, 16, etc. This is why the 225 60 is shorter than a 225 70 on the same diameter rim. This a rough explanation but pretty accurate from everything I know.

BFG does a 245/60-14 T/A and they should be get-able... Cooper did them a Cobra too but haven't checked on them in a while.


As for optimimum size...as mentioned the 14" thing is going to limit you. If going up to 15" is not an option then maybe run the taller size at least all around to keep from looking too small in the wheel wells maybe..

(If you did decide to run 15", then 235/60 up front and 275/60 out back is a nice combo to fill out on a B or E body.)

14 inch wheels are reeeeeeeaaaaalllllyyy small on a big B body are you doing a 100 point resto on it? If not 15x7 wheels would look much better with at least a 235-60-15 tire. Even 15's are getting hard to find

225-70-14 will fit stock 14" factory wheels just fine.
But like mentioned get lost under the car.
And No way would I put a 60 series 14" tire under ,,it looks even worst.

Uping them to a 15" tire is a much better move

IMO
