<VV> Rally Wheel Question

[Chris King]

Hi there,

Not sure anyone has replied to this.  I couldn't find any responses in the 
digest.  I am running that size on the rear of my car.  On the front, I have 
14X6 and 195/70R14's, and I think they are marginally too big.  I have some 
rubbing when reversing and turning left.

I just picked up a second set of what were supposed to be 14X6 rally wheels, 
but I suspect they are 14X7's as all 4 are wearing 215/70R14 tires.  I have 
yet to try them, but they look enormous to me.

Backspacing is a big deal.  I know very little about it, but this site has a 
lot:

This is how those rims look on my car:

while this car has the rims I picked up Sunday....

That site I mentioned links to a good tire size site.  From that, I am going 
to try swapping my fronts for 195/60R14's and see if the rubbing goes away.

Hi all....I'm looking into getting a set of Chevy rallys for my '65 Monza.
I've found a set that come with tires, but I'm not sure about the size. 
They're
out of state, so I can't test them on the car.

The rims are 14X7 and the tires are 215-70-14. Do any of you have this 
combo?
Are these OK as far as clearance is concerned?? Thanks for info!
