I picked up 4 stock rims. Thanks Tim! Had them sandblasted and painted. Now I am ready to buy tires for the rims. Went to the local Discount Tire. They have the following:

Fisk Classic Tire WSW
185/70/14
They look pretty good but are wider and taller. Will these tires fit inside the wheel wells without rubbing anywhere front or back?

The other tire DT can order is:
Hankook Mile Plus II H725 WSW
175/70/14
The Hankooks will fit right?

Pricing is $66.62 each mounted balanced and installed for the Fisk
$84.00 each mounted balanced and installed for the Hankook

Thoughts suggestions or other tire choices you can think of?

I'm pretty happy with the look and ride of the Hankooks in 185/70/14.


I found them locally last year for ~$60 per tire with a $100 rebate from a Ford dealer.

Take your best price to your local Ford dealer for a price match and get their current rebate

I have put 185/60 series on stock rims. A bit wider and lower profile. They were Michlen all weather tread. I don't remember all the specifics but even in the rain on Coldwater Canyon they stuck to the road very well.

on Mike's recommendation:
Hankook Mile Plus II
185/70/14

no rubbing with comp suspension

I installed Goodyear 185/70/14 on my stock rims. No rubbing at all. plenty of room on my 67.5 1600 Terry Z
