14x6.5 +19 wheel?

Post by jheck »

Hi all,
The usual question. Would the above wheel size have clearance issues on a 1970 1600?
I've read about 14x6 +10 to +15 being ideal. The extra 0.5" width I'm unsure about.

That's petty close to the ideal size.
It also depends on the tire size. 185/60 should be good.
15x7 +12 fit with 195/50 on almost all late cars.
The back spacing is the same 4.5" on both wheels. The outside of the 14x6.5 wheels sit 0.5" more in the wheel well...more clearance.
