My local tire dealer does have 175/75R14's in stock but he does have 175/65R14 and 185/70R14. I am thinking about getting the 175/65s but am concerned about rubbing. I am running Rostyles. Any sugges

175/14s were standard for the V8 so you shouldn't have any rubbing, even with reduced clearance on the LHS as mine has. I've seen 195s on a V8 conversion, but they were tight. PaulH. -- Original Mess

The 185/70 - 14 is going to be a good fit on the Rostyle wheel. No problem with rubbing and it was stock fitment on the Limited Edition cars. The Rostyle wheel is 5" wide which is within spec. for a

Concerned about rubbing what? 175/75 and 175/65 are the same width -- 175mm. 185/70 is 10mm wider, obviously. 175R14 has no clearance problems on a 66 B roadster. Not sure of your application. -- Max

Please note that wider tires may cause much stiffer steering. BTDT! Bert _______________________________________________ Edit your replies Mgs@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/mg

Hi Bert, You may try my 1971 BGT with 185/70 R14 on w/w. These are not causing heavy stearing! Cheers, Hans _______________________________________________ Edit your replies Mgs@autox.team.net http:/

I have 185/70/R14s on wires and steering is not too bad. But I have sent away for that Targett kit which changes the caster from 7 to 2.5 degrees, which apparently is what it should be for radials. T

I absolutely concur with the 185/70R14 recommendation. I've been using them on my Rostyles for years, with absolutely no clearance problems. You get a wider patch on the pavement, which helps handlin

If I recall correctly, you can run up to 195-60-14 on an MGB before things start getting tricky. You may need to roll the fenderlips to keep them from rubbing in the back. -- All your apex are belong

I have been out of town the past week so I am a little late with my response. I am currently running fairly new 175/65-14 tyres on my 67BGT. My 72B on the other hand is running 175/75R-14 tires. The

I run 205x50R15s on my V8. Both the race and street tires fit with only having to roll the rear fender lips. I use polyurethane bushings in the whole suspension and have never seen any signs of tires
