OT; rim tire question for ford wagon
 

I was wondering if someone who knows how to swoon google (like Bill) could
find the info for the following questions. ( I'm basically google
illiterate)
1) what is the stock rim size on a 86 fox bodied wagon? (fairmont size
wagon)
2) what is the widest tire I could fit on the stock rims? I can get 4 brand
new 215/65/14's for $100, but I don't know if the 215's would fit on stock
rims, currently I'm running 205/75/14's. with about 40% tread up front and
need new rubber for the winter.
3) would the 15'' mustang rims fit on the wagon? ( thinking on either stock
LX rims
or GT turbine styles)

Hi Snow,
I can't think of a chart to go to. Is the Fairmont still rear wheel
drive? As that makes a world of difference in rim design. Also the
215/65/14 size scares me in that the Mustang Gina used an all metric rim
similar to that size, that were worthless. Also they're going from a
five hole lug pattern to four and back to metric five for those years
around '86. I guess what I'm swaying is you have to physically try them
on.

Re: OT; rim tire question for ford wagon
 

Thanks Bill
Yup rear drive, for the most part it is a 5 door rustang (built on the same
platform) I know the 4 bolt rims from the fairmont and the 14'' stock rims
on mustangs up to '88 will fit.

Any idea if I could use those 215's on the rims? I believe stock for the
ltd mid-size wagons was 195 and option for the wagon was 205.
