What Size Wheel Accepts a 225/70-14 Size Tire
Question:
What rim width is needed for 225 70 14 tires on a car?
asked by: John M
Helpful Expert Reply:
The passenger car tire size you referenced, 225/70-14, can be mounted to a 14-inch diameter wheel (rim) of 6-inch, 6-1/2-inch and 7-inch widths. The linked article on tire sizes may be of interest to you.
Please note that automobile tires and trailer tires are not interchangeable. Each type has different construction specific to their application. Trailer tires have stiffer sidewalls to help them withstand heavy vertical loads, while passenger car tires have more flex for better traction. Never use auto tires on a trailer and never use trailer tires on a passenger vehicle.
Wheels themselves can also differ between trailers and autos, so make sure you are using wheels and tires rated for your purpose.
