Does anyone know if I could put a pair of p175 65 14 on the front of a 64 Parisienne and still have clearance?

That actually sounds too small. I would think something in the area of a 205 75 14 would be closer to the original?

427Carl on there has done more years in a tire shop than most of us have been alive! Hopefully he will see this and reply.

my convertible had a set of P235/75R15 on it with tired front springs when i purchased it. I replaced with P225/75R14 and new springs. I just put some P215/75R14 on it

 Plenty of clearance (they are small tires) ... are you going after the front "skinny" look?

         x2         They will look "too small"  (4 sizes too small)  and will squat pretty good...    That 4 door Hardtop will weigh 4000 lbs  

 

       in my humble opinion ANY 14 inch looks too small  (whoops)

Thanks for the advice guys I'm going to pass on the 14's and keep my eyes peeled for some 15" cragars. I agree they would look too small plus deal fell through as tires were cracked and seller couldn't find caps and hardware he thought he had.

I have a nice set of rims and tires    Pontiac rally's with BFG rwl P245/60R-14's     (look at chart)    

I had a member interested in them last year...   

I will check and see if they are available...

Yeah no e t slots. They were exceptionally clean but they started adding up when I looked at them and found out front rubbers were cracking and no caps or nuts and washers. I was disappointed as I think they would have looked good but what can you do.

 What does that style look like?  Am I correct in assuming my bolt centers are 5".

The Rallys are Pontiac 5 spokes ... I'll let Carl show you his.

Your bolt pattern is 5 x 4 3/4" (5 x 4.75")
