In Reply to: Re: will 4 "225X7014's" fit under a maverick? posted by rickyracer on July 24, 2000 at 23:06:51:
I really don't think they will be any proble at all. My old Comet came with 205X75r14s and I had no problems at all in the 3 years I had it. My new Mav has 255X60r15s and they seem okay (although I will admit that I have only had the new Mav for a week)
: back will be fine, the fronts may rub a bit especially on turns or bumps
: : i dont really need tires but, someone in my neighborhood has 4 225X7014's for sale. it wouldnt be my preferred size of choice if i was buying new tires, but these are only $50 for all 4, and they have excellent tread.
: : i prefer to keep all 4 tires the same. i know this would be no problem under the rear, but i have a feeling that this size tire is too tall for a for the front of a maverick.
: : i read a little bit about tires sizing below. it wasnt specific enough to make me feel confident enough to purchase these tires.
: : any thoughts? will they clear the fenderwells, etc? any other considerations?
: : the car is a 72 V8
: : thanks
