not quite sure u can go wider than that.
205 is the next in width.

RE: WIDEST TIERS - ADVICE PLZ
 

you should be able to fit 205...but be carefull some tire brandsare a little wider than others..i had 205 goodyear and i replaced then with 205 continental and the continental rubbed the rear shock so i had to go a size down....

so I guess am going foe the 2nd type as it to be 205-60-R14

the reason I've chosen Simitomo is that it has an amazing road gripp (Traction) as I've used them on my 1990 Mustang& it stopped drifting !! even I couldn't do a complete donuts !!! also I've used them on 1986 Caprice 255-65-R15 & they performed nearly as street race tiers also on many other cars.

Thanx for the advice

60 vs 70 will give you a firmer ride with better handling, but your speedometer will be off by 1 or 2 kph

simitomo is good, but i prefer yokohama or bridgestone.

thanx for the advice :)

RE: WIDEST TIERS - ADVICE PLZ
 

you can put any tiresyou like...but any time you alter the oem spec..like your tire size.....there will be a chance that something won't fit...i would advice you to purchase locally and not on the internet...in case something goes wrong..good luck
