What was the original wheel (size & style) & tire combo on a '73 442?


What was STANDARD & what was OPTIONAL?

It appears that the 442 no different wheel and tire options than any other Cutlass S (with FE2)

Yes, that shows 14x6.0" wheels STANDARD, but does NOT show a size for the SSII or SSIIIs.

The performance tires appear to be limited to fiberglass-belted G70-14 (w/RWL). Did they install these on 14x6.0" wheels?

NO radial, NO steel-belted & NO 15" tires?

SS1 were dropped from the options list & the SS11/SS111 were 14 x 7" with bolt on cap.

Here is an article from CARS Magazine doing a road test on a 73 442. It gives information on the tires, G70-14. You can also see them in the pictures although quite small,

Okay, you're specifying 442. The 442 package included the FE2 suspension. The FE2 suspension includes 14 x 7 wheels. Which can be had with the SSII/SSIII wheels as Dave said are also 14 x 7.
