What are the largest tires you can get on 14 rally wheels with no rubbing. The wheels are so narrow its ridiculous. The car is a 68 cuda. Post pics too.
9.65 section width will fit without rubbing.
The 14" rim part means nothing.
What does that equate to in mm?
Why would there be an issue? I don't understand the specifying the rim width or the height of the rim?
Each width of rim has a maximum width tire that should be mounted on it. Majority of tire manufacturers suggest a 225 width tire is the widest to put on a 6" rim.
In an extreme case, imagine trying to mount a 275 width tire on a 4.5" rim!
a 10.50 - 12.50 will mount on a 6" rim. As any guy with a dually will show you that.
225 to 245 is 20mm or 2 cm. Not a big deal.
The minimum recommended wheel size for a 245/60/R14 is 7". So we are talking an extra .5" per side.
I run an 11.25" rim with a 12.50 tire. That's pretty ideal. But trust me when I tell you being .5" out of spec is nothing.
Again a dually cummins truck comes stock with 235/80/17 Which are 9.60" section width on a 6" rim.
