    so I have a stock height 2wd 97 and its getting harder to find tires in the 215/70r14 size evry time i need them and was wondering if some of the American Racing AR62 Outlaw II would fit? theyre 15x7 with a 50mm offset. i just want something nice-ish and also benefit from a wider variety of tires.

    Yes they will fit as long as the lug pattern and center bore are correct. You can easily run a 235 75 r15 with them.
    Here is someones thread with them.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Find a rim off the newer 5 lug trucks check for clearance on the front. Go from there.

    Even 15" wheels the tire selection gets smaller every day.

    My tire dealer a few years ago said "15" tires are way to common there will always be a good selection" I tease him all the time.
