    Hello Everyone,
    Havent posted for a bit as I have been getting parts for my 71 2 door.

    I have a question, Will BFG Radial T/A 195/70R14's fit on the stock rims?
    I have the 4 lug 200cid engine. I currently have 185/75s now so I don/t see a problem, what do you think? Thanks for any help in this matter.

    Sincerely, Robin
    71 Grabber Green Maverick

    I have 205 75 14's on my stock rims in the front fit fine so 195's won't be a problem.

    i have 195/70/14's on mine now, but i'm pretty sure the biggest you can fit on the stock rim is a 225...that would be my next tire...225/60/14

    i have 2 BFG radial TA's on my car.... they are 205 60 15 and i have 2 mounted on a 14x7 rim... i would recommend 14x6 for a 205 tire

    here is a link of what they look like

    this is on the 14x5.5 rim,.. and this rim is way to narrow for the tire.. i thought a 14x7 would be better for the front.. but the tread doesnt extend to the edge of the rim.. so i will need to get 225 60 14 tires for the 14x7 rims
