14" rims, need tire advise
Ok, I have the coolest set of 14" rims. The front are normal size, I'd guess 14x6". The back rims, however, are about 14x12!
These are the tires that are in dire need of replacement:
Toyo Z Steel Belted Radial Xtra 195/70/HR14
BF Goodrich Belted T/A P275/60/B14
I have no idea what tires will fit the back rims. Tire Warehouse was at a loss as well.
I want the widest/tallest tires as possible in the back, and something decent for daily driving in the rear.
The tires that are on the back rims now are too tall/wide, as the sidewalls rub the lip inside the well when cornering/bumps.

Turns out they are old school Cragar Super Trick rims! I had the tires removed and I saw a Cragar quality control sticker... cool!
I need something that's good in the rear for drag racing, but street legal because I have to drive an hour to the track with them on!

I think the widest street tire in 14" is bfgoodrich radial t/a's 265/50/14 I had 245/60/14 and really liked them, its a very good tire and drag radials suck in the rain. Hardly worth the difference in price either vs. the radial t/a's also.
