Will is pretty much right except that all tire mfg are apparently don't measure
the same and one make of 195/75X15 is not necessarily the same diameter as
another mfg. and the tread design can also make a difference. Probably best to
measure diameter before you buy.

You need to know the size to get the diameter. In the Metric sizing, the first
number is the section width, the second number is the sidewall aspect
percentage. If you take the section width and take the percentage you'll get
the height of the sidewall.
A 195/75/15 tire would be
((195 * .75) / 25.4) * 2 + 15 = 26.51" tall.
Just plug in the numbers for your 14" tire and you'll now the size.

Thanks Paul. I followed your lead to cip.com. Nice folks and a the wheels
were on sale. Now I wish I would have ordered a 5th wheel to avoid the spare
issue.
Does anybody know the outer diameter with tire of the OG 14" wheels? I am
trying to see what tire size I should go with. Additionally, I could change the
spedo to a and earlier model that was stock with the 15s, then my spedo would
be more accurate. Anyone done this? I want to make sure I don't speed, ha
ha. We have a new police cheif here in Austin and he doesn't mess around.
