7" is a little wide for a 195 tire

Also 195 75 or 195 70?

0 offset on a 7" rim is 4" backspacing

Don't know if that will clear the tie-rods with a 14" (it will with a 15"), and definitely won't with a 13"

14" stock rims were 4.5 5.5 or 6.0 wide.

So you need 14x6

with 0 offset you'd get 3.5" backspacing which is perfect........
