Smallest wheels I can use

Ok, I have an 87 TA WS6, has the 16x8 PW7 wheels. I have what I think are the 10" drums in the rear. I looknig for a cheap extra set of wheel so I can redo my PW7's. I found a pair of 14" Berlinetta wheels with nice tires local, but did not want to get them and not have them fit. So will 14"s work on my car or do I need at least 15's?

87 TA WS6 with drum brakes in the rear?

Those 14" should clear.

Re: Smallest wheels I can use

i will trade u a set of stock 15" z wheels, or buy those berlinetta wheels if in good shape. i even have some random 15" american racing wheels. or steel 14" wheels. i found a set of berlinettas at a swap meet, but were not in good enough condition for my car.

I did not get the wheels yet, but will give the guy a call tonight and see if he still has them. They do not have center caps. I don't want to ship wheels as I see you are not local. Thanks for the offer tho

Yeah my WS6 has drums in the rear. It's a true WS6 car, in the later years you could get drums with the WS6. I wish it had rear disc.
