tyre sizes..

Post by rocket3 »

Hi,i`m about to fit a set of lp917 rims to the pick up, i`ve been told 185/70 x14 tyres will be ok to fit, but have read tonight that they are too wide and may catch or interfere with suspension parts and 155/70 x14 are the correct size..HELP!!. :cry:

155 80 14 would be ideal however I have seen 165 70 14 fitted without issues.....

Yes - 175 are FAR too wide - these are only 4.5" wide rims. I can confirm that 155 x 80 x 14 are perfect. Nice firm handling - no 'jelly wobble'...........
