Could someone please help me out,.. I can't buy the standard Road Hugger 205*60 13R anymore that looked realy nice under the original LH 4.2LT
SL/R .. So unless someone can give me a contact that can supply them to me ? I am wondering if I can fit 14' Rims underneath, I have lowered the standard springs, but only by about 1.5inches, and havnt rolled the guards as I want to keep it all Original. So Will the 14' tyres rub the Guards or not?..
I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Cheers

I would safely say that 14x7 rims should fit under your torana.

L34s ran a revised offset GTS rim which was 14x6 with a DR70 tyre which I think is 195 wide.
I had 235R65/14s on the front and 245s on the back of my old L34, not sure of the offset but the rims were 8".
It was also lowered so the tyres rubbed on the back on bumps.

Hi,
I have in the last month bought 205/60 x 13,s in Falken ZE 912. Try your local to see if there are some left, they are not a bad tyre, Federal and Maxis are also in that size.
Re 14x7 with 195/60 tyres,they will foul on the front. Well they did on my LX.
I had to cut a triangle about 2x4 inch off the fronts, plus at rear of fronts fold the seam and bang in at the footwell so the wheel had clearance, plus roll the lips. they hit when on full lock.
Regards G.

Thanks for the tip mate !, I was hoping to find a tire with white writing on the wall that stood out..
I will contact my local dealer and ask about the Federal and Maxis availability.
