Will P235/60R14 BF Goodrich tires fit on stock 14" wheels? Leaf springs are in stock location as well. - thanks |

Whether you have the common 14" × 4½" wheels or the less-common 14" × 5½" wheels, no, not a chance; a 235/60R14 is way(!) too wide. You need a 6½" wide wheel at minimum for that size tire.

A 7" wide wheel with 4.25" backspacing will get that tire under the car. I had 235/60R15s on Chrysler cop car wheels under my '66 Dart and also my '71 Dart. You might rub the inner wheel house when you push one end of the axle way up and the other side droops when going into or out of parking lots and such. It just rubbed a shiny spot on the sheet metal when this happened on my '66. Never rubbed the spring or sheet metal under any other circumstances. |
