will 225/70/14 BFGs fit on our gran sports
« on: February 06, 2017, 08:36:05 PM »
Before I just order a set of tires , can anyone tell me if 225/70/14 inch tires will clear ok on my 65GS ?  The wheels are 14X7 steel wheels with a 4 inch offset .

Indirect evidence:  225/70-14 on my '68 GTO fit great, and 215/70-15 on my '65 Sportwagon fit great.

But are they white-walls? (Re: will 225/70/14 BFGs fit on our gran sports)

Dear John, Steve, and mid-60s Buick visual perfectionists, . . . .

Before I just order a set of tires , can anyone tell me if 225/70/14 inch tires will clear ok on my 65GS ?  The wheels are 14X7 steel wheels with a 4 inch offset .


. . . . Never mind those minor fitment details, tell us the important stuff!! . . . . Are you ordering white-walls? (or red-lines? , or . . . . . . ) . . . .

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Thanks guys .
Edouard , Going to order red lines but will probably have a couple sets of tires for this car .
Was thinking about 265 50 14 but they don,t make them in the red lines  .
