Re: 14in tires

Road racing slicks #23586. Even though they're very short at only 24.5" tall (car street tires are 26") they require a 14" wide rim. The only way you'll be able to do that is with a back half or some very severe inner and outer fender modifications.

You'll never fit those on the front unless you cut away most of the fender.
