14x5J means 5 inches "Bead to Bead" Rim will actually be 6 inches total width....

Station wagon rims (some) are not wider just "reversed" to have "wider drop centre" part show to outside

Newer 14x6 rims (e.g. off S10 Nova etc ) are 14x6 bead to bead and will be 7 inches wide... and are fine

Here is photo of GM 14x6 rims 6 represents the width Bead to Bead Lots of 14x6 have sold at Flea Markets as 14x7's (more $$) because Seller measured total width wink

That's wonderful....thanks for the help. Thanks for the ad over in the Ottawa area, (I'm in Ottawa) but I'm going for a new mag style wheel

I bought these for my car 15x7 Vision with 3.75 Back Space 480.00 per set E-Bay also available at any Ottawa dealers who buy from Auto Dynamics

15 inch tires easier to get

Your wheels look fabulous and the price is great! I need to stick to 14" though because my car is now riding on an older set of Keystones (flaking & peeling), with new set of 14" whitewall tires that I wish to keep. Thanks

Nice shoes Mr. 427! If I ever get tired of my rally II's, I know what I'm getting.

Maybe worth mentioning, it seems that 14" tires selections are reducing which led me to go with 15" for the long run.

Go with 15", 14 are getting very hard to find and will unfortunatly become dinosaurs very soon. 15x7 rear and 15x6 fronts are a good way to go, that car will take wide wheels for sure.

Yes go 15

But some of us want to keep our original 14" wheel covers. I'd go 15" in a second if I could run my covers.

I sold those Magnums a few years ago. Wish I hadn't though.

I really want to run the 14's with stock covers. Been trying to figure out a way to make them fit and look right on a stock 15" rim.

SO IF YOU WHAT WENT TO 15 INCH RIMS WHAT SIZE TIRE WOULD YOU USE ON 1964 PARISIENNE

427carl · A Poncho Legend!

P205/75R-15 P215/75R-15 P225/75R-15 depends on how low you want it to sit

rabbit64cs · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

All depends.....

275/60/15 on 8 1/2 rim In the rear...

236/60/15 on 7" up front.

WHAT TIRE SIZE WOULD MOST LIKELY KEEP YOUR SPEEDOMETER CLOSE

427carl · A Poncho Legend!

P205/75R-15 or P215/70R-15 or P235/60R-15 most factory speedos were never 100%

When I replaced the rear tires on the 64cs. I have 15 inch Corvette rims, my problem was getting white walls. I ended up with 235/70/15 Hankooks. They fit well and very smooth. The car came with 14s but the switch to 15s works fine.

Yes the 235 70 15 is an awesome size on A and B body cars, on the rear. i like 215 70s on the front. also the 205 75 along with a 225 75 also is good, and the 75's you can usually still find a whitewall, but its getting hard!
