ok so im trying to use the stock steel wheels again and wondering if 225/60/14 will work in the front and rear of my 78 ?? or should i run those in rear and 215/60/14 in the front ?? or should i run 70 series like stock ?? and do trim rings work on steelies ??

I have 235/60/15's on mine. No issues except a slight rub on the fender on full turn in the front. So if you have 14's just calculate height and width based on the 235/60/15's and maybe stay a size narrower.

Yeah you can use the rings. And as wide as I'd go on that 6' is 245 and that's pushing it. I'm not sure about the rub in the front. BUMP. :beer:

If you're not married to the 14's, did you consider going to 15's on maybe an N90 Monte wheel? Rallies are always a good option, or in fact 15's from an 84 Monte SS........happy hunting!

Well didnt know where to find a good cheap set of rallies ???

I have 235/60/14's front (14x7)and 245/60/14's rear(14x8) on my 84 with slot mags. At first I didn't think I would like 14's but I actually think they look more "natural" on the car. No rub whatsoever with 3.5 backspacing. When I put my 15" (235/60/15)rally's on, from the front of the vehicle they look too tall to me and rub slightly at full lock.

My slot mags are 14x7 front 3.5 BS and 14x8 rear 3.67 BS that I found on Ebay. I love the look and there are no fitment issues. Check out this link of this 14x7 set that look identical to mine. Ebay item #380395059410 RTT:smileyb:
