A 205/70-15 is TALLER than a 205/70-14. What you need is some 225/60R-15s with 15 x 7 inch wheels with 3 and 7/8-inch back-spacing...
: I am looking for a good set of wheels for my 72 Maverick
: I went to a speed shop today and they told me I would be better
: off changing to 15" wheels since I am changing all four wheels.
: He said I would have a better selection for wheels and tires. I ask
: if height clearance would be a problem, but he said the tires could
: be the same height no matter what wheel I chose. I didnt
: think about this before, but I guess it makes sense, because
: 205 would be the same whether it was 205 70 R 15 or 205 70R 14.
: Any way please let me know how the 15" wheels work. I want to use
: the widest tire I possibly can.
