my 93' aerostar has 225/70r-14 tires. i need a set of snow tires. a fellow on craigslist has a set of 225/70r-15 snow tires and wheels. will they fit and run perfectly on my car?
Is yours RWD or AWD? Are you running 4 snow tires or just planning on running 2?
Your biggest issues will be clearance height (width is ok), with 1" more. You might ground out on bumps? Then you'll have speedometer error of 2-3 mph.
If you have AWD, you'll have to run 15"s all the way around. If you have RWD, are you planning to run 14" in front and 15" in back?
What car do the 15s come off of?
I would say the only sure way to approach this is to fit the tires and see what happens.
Seems to me it's a lot less trouble to just buy a set of 2 new 14"s.
