    I have been searching and can not find any tires for a 14x10 wheel. Any body know where I could find some. It's just a cruiser car so i only need street tires. thanks

    Ok, so far I have some Mickey Tompson 7034's. They are 255/60/14. Bias ply non directional tire. They are DOT approved but it says that max rim width is 9". Would I be ok running these on a 10" rim?

    BFG used to make a P265/50-14 in the Radial TA. That will just fit on a 10" wide rim, but it is only 24.5" tall

    I tried searching for some of those and I guess they don't make them anymore. Would the tires I listed above work even though they say 9inch rim?

    That size is in an old BFG catalog I have, they probably don't make it anymore. I would not run the other tires on that rim, they will not be safe. Why can't you have the rims narrowed?

    Cause they are original SS Cragar's from the 70's and I really like how wide they are. Oh well I'll keep searching I guess. Thanks for the help.

    Hey Jeremy. The widest 14" that I know of are Mickey Thompson Indy Profile L60-14. Same as a 295-60. 28"dia. 12" sectional width and 9.5" tread width. Recommended wheel is 7"-10". They are $174.95 at Summit Racing. Part # MTT-1036. Just no good selection any more in 14". Good Luck.

    How would they work with just like weekend driving and cruising around. I'm not looking for any spectacular tire just need something that doesn't look retarded on the rim. Right now it has something like 195/70/14 stretched on it. Needless to say they look so stupid.

    Yes, they are straight from the 70's. If that is the look you are after. They are street tires. Don't know how they will fit in your wheel wells.

    Ok, well it looks like those are the tires for me then. Awesome, thanks for the help. I've learned a few tricks to get some bigger tires back there. I might have to roll the fender but we'll see. Thanks again.
