    Hi All,
    time to get new tires. I am currently running 195/75/14"s. They came with the van and are low quality kuhmo's. I am sticking with 14's as  have 14" mags and 14" steelies. I am wondering how wide a 14 I can fit in the van. I do not know the backspace of the mags or the steelies. I would like to go - Front - 215/60/14 and rear 235/60/14. Goal is a bit of a rake, a bit lower sidewalls ( van scrapes top of standard garage door enry) and wider.

    Will 215"s and 235"s 14"s fit? My rudimentary calculations say yes with no problems.

    Thanks all
