Default 205's on a 14" steelie?

I have a couple of 14" steelies off of a DA teg that are just laying around. I was thinking about getting some 14" BFG Drag radials to slap on them so I can use them when I drive to the track.

The smallest size they have is: 205/50R14.

Will these fit?

Thanx,
Tippyman.

I don't see why not. It won't be the ideal size, but it should fit. I've got a set of 215/50R13 race tires (i.e. stiff sidewall) on 13x5 steelies. The tires flare out quite a bit, but it works. For a drag application, it shouldn't affect the tire's performance other than not allowing a full contact patch.

they will fit. A friend had 195s. They did stick out a little but I've seen a lot more.
