How do I determine my wheel size? This is for a 69, 4 door Valiant. Right now there are 195/75 14 tires on the car.

Thanks for the help.

He wants someone to look at the photo of his wheel and tell him if it's the 14" x 4½" or a 14" x 5½" item. I'm out of practise and so can't give a reliable answer.

Unless it's marked on the wheel, you need to measure it..............

Then subtract 1" from what you measure to get the inside measurement.

You don't need to measure it. The difference is visually obvious in the depth of the wheel rim visible outboard of the wheel web, it's just I'm out of practise and can't trust my memory as to what is shown in his picture. (or if the tire's removed the wheel size is stamped on the outer circumference of the barrel).
