what size tires for the front?

[Houndstooth]

71 challenger on 14" rallys. Currently have 245/60/14's bf radial ta's in rear. What do you guys recommend for the front?

If they are mounted with the white lettering showing, you would have to run BFG T/A 's on front as well. Could go with 235/60-14, or 215/70-14 RWL. What width are the rim's ?

 

[Houndstooth]

Not sure, just plain 14" rally wheels.

Take a ruler or tape measure and check the width between the beads. Rim should also be marked. Check around the valve stem hole.

I had some 225-70's I think on my stock 14x5.5 road wheels. I believe those are the same diameter as the stock F70's the car came with. They looked pretty good on there. They looked a lot wider then the F70's.

wouldn't you want to keep the height of tire the same?

I'd have to look at the tires to be sure but I think they were 225-70's. They were the same height as the stock F70x14's the car came with. They look wider then the original tires though.

Find out the overall diameter of your rear tires and find a tire that has the same...or close to the same diameter. You can go on tire websites and get the specs for the sizes your looking at.

My Chally had 245x60x14s all round and they fitted fine at the front.
Now I've fitted 15" magnums I have 225's on the front now and they steer much better

My main question is if i have 245/60/14 in rear wouldn't i want the fronts to be the same height? Say 225/60/14.

That is not the way tire sizes work. The first number 245 is section width in milimeters. 245 mm This is the measured at the widest part of the tires side wall. Not a tread measurement. The /60 means 60 percent height to width ratio. 60 percent of 245 mm is the measurement from the rims edge to the top of the tires tread edge. Add that number twice, half above and half below the rim plus rim diameter. = total tire diameter.
