tryin to fig out what size tire for a 14" wheel is around the height of a 17" wheel with a 45 series tire.

Okay, how wide is the tire now? If we know how wide it is, we can figure out the OD of the tire, and fine a tire that will be the same OD on a 14" wheel.

Tire calculator says a 205/45/17 is 24.3" tall.

Close to that in width and same height is 195/65/14 which is 24" tall. Or a 205/65/14 which is 24.5" tall. Those will be fairly common sizes too. And you can get that size in a narrow white wall tire.

I would go with wheel vintiques. I recently had my 15x7 steelies done there and powdercoated white as well. I got the trim rings and bullet center caps too. www.wheelvintiques.com

you can see images of my truck at www.tilleysspeedandcustoms.com

If you need tires as well, Diamondback Tires is AWESOME and they have great options to choose from in all sizes.
