Oldsmobile rims 14x8 14x7




Bought these for $300. Pretty good condition. Rear 14x8 front 14x7. Any suggestions for tire size? Can't wait to ride stock. These 22's are a hassle

How come 215/70/14 just asking? For front why not 225/60/14?

Its a shame they are 14s, not much of a tire choice and all short for such a big wheel well.

The 245-60 is the widest 14" available and since your front wheel is narrower a more narrow tire fits better but you really do not want to go shorter. The 215-70 is very close to the same sidewall height as the 245-60. A 225-60 is shorter and I didn't think it was a common size either.
