As the title is asking. I'm not looking for a discussion of what's right or wrong. I just want to see what they look like for myself. Thank you.

235's look like big wendy wearing her little sis's snake skin bell bottoms, and you know it.
The only girl I know named Wendy isn't big and would be insulted by that remark. lol

You don't care that it i s the wrong fit. Just want to see if someone else also put the wrong size tire on too narrow of a rim ?
I guess if t is for display it doesn't matter. Otherwise it will be mushy around turns.
235-245mm is over 9" through the section of the tire. tread around 8" depending on the brand and model of tire.
The tread width should equal the rim width for the other people out there who care and want to know.
At least a 7" rim width is recommended for that size of tire regardless of rim diameter. for the tire tread to sit flat on the road surface.
14,15,16,17,18,19".....
Understanding tire size meanings......
235 the first number is the section width measurement in millimeters, so 235mm wide through the center the side wall,
/60 This means divided by 60 or 60%. The tire is 60% as tall from rim to top of tread as it is wide, through the section of the tire. So doesn't mean how wide a tire is, just the profile of the tire.
Last, 14, 15, etc... just the rim diameter.
So a 235/60-14 tire is 235mm wide in the section, is 60% as tall as it is wide and is mounted on a 14" bead size.

I don't have 60's but these are 225/70's on a 5.5" rim....shorter sidewall of a 60 series I'd probably be more comfortable with a 7" rim for those tire sizes personally
I find this online calculator very helpful-

I know all the specs. I just want to see what it looks like. Thanks.
Thanks......but those won't fit on the front. .....of my car at least.
Thanks very much. How did they ride and handle? That doesn't look as "bad" as I thought it would.
Thanks. I use this one. lol
Tire Size Comparison
Tire size comparison the easy way. Use our tire size comparison calculator to compare diameter, width, sidewall, circumference and revolutions per mile.

They were on the car when I bought it 15 years ago. Drove the car 1850 miles in December from Mn. to Reno, Nv. Replaced them 3 years ago with what I have on it now (avatar). To be honest, I put another 100 miles on them before replacing them. With power steering I never noticed any difficulty with the ride. Of course, just the joy of having another 69 cuda may have just diverted my attention.
As a footnote, I have 14x7 Indy's with 235's on the front and 245's on the rear.

Oh, NOW you wanna know, lol. My Dart came with RWL Uniroyal Tiger Paws in 225/60-14 when I got it. I didn't know at the time (first car) but it was a wallowing pig. You could jog the wheel back and forth on the highway and the car would continue to yaw when you stopped.... While still traveling perfectly straight. You'd swear it had a lazy Susan in the system somewhere.
You could give it a push on the quarter panel while stopped and it would sit there and boogie down. I just thought it was "old car" until I rebuilt everything, and then put 15" rims with 50's on the front. They're still 5.5" rims but much more stable.
What size 50s? They can't be very tall.

225 I think. I'll look when I head out.
There are still bald spots inside the fender roof from the old tires lol
You must have the car pretty low then.

So those are still the 235s on 5.5" wheels?
For those of you shakin your heads, here is my issue. I want a wheel I can use a stock wheel cover on. I already have the wheel covers. I would like something a little wider than a 215 70 14. Plus, I believe they may not fit the front without some trimming......how much I don't know. If I knew 100% the 215 70 14 would fit with minimal trimming or none, I'd probably put those on. I "would" go with a 225 60 14, as those will fit "better" than the 235 60 on the 5.5" wheel, but still the 225 isn't optimal. The issue there is, only ONE supplier makes the 225 60. BF Goodrich and they are pretty costly. I have to watch every penny. I want the same size all around.....or at least the same diameter. So any of yall thinkin this is a bad idea wanna donate some 14 x 7 steel wheels, I'm all about it. Otherwise, I gotta do what I gotta do.

Yes, all 4 wheels are the factory 14x5.5 and all 4 tires are as you see in the pictures. Including the picture in Arizona.
Thanks very much.

Cooper cobra are also available in 225/60x14. And they are a better tire and $30 ea cheaper.
Gripmax make one too, $70 cheaper. I am nor familiar with Gripmax. They are white letter. I would bet large however, that they are chinese..
I think (no, I know) I would buy the cobras.
If you google Cooper Cobra 225 60 14, the cobra and gripmax will show up.
