Hello! I own a set of RS Watanabe R Type wheels. The sizes are 14x9.5 and 14x11.5. I have been scouring the internet for a tire company that can provide some rubber in a wide enough size, but it seems to top out at 225/60 (nice size for the front, bu the height is too tall for my tastes). I would like to find a 225/55 or 50 and 245/55 or 50, but I don't know if these even exist. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Performanc 14 in tires are non exsistent.
Your best bet is to send them to Weldcraft and try to have the centers fit to a 16 or 17 in wheel ring.
Anotherthing is make sure they are actually 14 in wheels as a few odf the european wheels came in a metric size and trying to install anything other than those tires is super dangerous as you will snap the bead ring in the tire IF it actually goes on or or if its too large(tire) it will blow off the rim.
Michelin made a bunch of road tires in 14s a long time ago but 14s are long gone in big wide tire sizes.
You can get a 225 50 14 from Hoosier but its a racer tire.

Tons of good stuff if you are willing to run a DOT race tire. Check out Hoosier, or maybe Avon R compounds.
