    My guess for wheel is 14 in diam, and 6 in width. Tire is probably 195/75R14. Wheel might be 5 in width.

    Ok my guess is....14x6" OR 7" by looking at the dark side of the rim and I'm gonna say its a 195/60, 65 or 70. Seems wider than usual for a front tire. Just a wild guess :) Mitch

    Looks like it should be replaced with something taller and skinnier :)

    15x6 185 15 tires. for racing should be taller and skinnier. @swade41 I have a pair just like that. Makes a great spare tire.

    I couldn't find a 15x6 without a positive offset, the 14's were "0" on offset, those in the lead photo didn't seem to have the positive offset to be 15's. Here are the 15x6 I had

    Based on how wide they are my guess is 215 70R-14.

    A 205-215 75-15 would give you a bit better rollout for a drag car.

    Looks like the similar 14"x5" I had on the front of my Falcon before I switched to 15x4.5" I ran 185/75/14 tires.
