    Can't add much to what Uncle Bob said. The "look" will be fine with the mismatch 15's & 14's, and a lot will depend on the stance with a full fendered car. Tuck the fronts up into the fenders and should have a sweet rake to it. Post up some pictures when you can. Here's a link to a post from Don that explains the necessary resizing unless you have your camera set for tv/monitor size files.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    I built a 3W with 6 x 14 fronts around 1990, It was fenderless, I'm not sure how a fendered car will look with 14's though. the fronts may look a little lost in the fenders.




    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.

    I run 14s on the front and 15s on the rear and I am very happy the set up. It is very 70s and some of the "purists" may frown at it but, if you like it then Rock On !

    I'm running 15 x 8.5 on rear with 29" piecrusts, and 14 x 6 on front with some 185 x 75's. It's fenderless, but I like that rubber rake. Course I was a teen in the early 70's...........
