The car originally had 8.55-14 tires, and has 2.25-75-14 tires now. They are 13 years old and have cracking and probably dry rot and who knows what. Local tire dealers tell me bigger sized 14's are not easy to find, specially white wall except at places like Diamond or Coker. And there will be less made over the next 10 years. The selection of 15" whitewalls was better, and they were an option on this body style when equipped with Budd disc brakes.
So I swapped a year-old 215-75-15 WW tire/wheel combo from my Polara to the Chrysler. No rubs, rides better. For now I have the centers covered with some old 70's Chrysler wheel covers. Two questions.
1. Do you think this will be an adequate tire size for the car?
2. The car looks dowdy with these hubcaps. Any suggestions for spiffy hubcaps or road wheels. Did Mopar have some road wheel like the old Imperial hubs? I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks Doug
