thanks for the quick response
Im selling my bmw and going to pick up my car from high school days (73 duster 340) all original (except the wheels) 4 speed. I want to eventually restore it.
found some 14" rallye's for $250.

 

[stubble88]

so this car could have come with any of the three wheel types?
which one should I get?
thanks

Well….. It would have came with Rallyes or hubcaps. I say get Rallyes.

Rallyes look great and you can mount the full wheel covers on them if you want to change the look quickly.

where is the best deal on Rallyes?

also. did the duster 340 come with staggered wheels? wider in the back? I think not but just making sure.

sorry for the dumb questions

So the E70-14 is approximatley a 225/70/14 correct?
how wide would you go on the tire?
225? 235?? or.....

thanks

205-70-14 (25.4" tall) or 215-70-14 (25.9" tall)
The 225-70-14 (26.5" tall)
E70-14 is about 25.8"

If you are running a 5.5" wheel I would stay with the 205 or 215…….. Although I'm sure someone will say they run a 255 on a 5.5" and it works great…… Never fails.
