According to the label on the drivers door there should be smaller rims on the front then on the back.

Has anyone seen a flatty with rims like this??

14's are the base model size wheels. The sport models got the 15's, until 85.5/86 when 15's became standard.

flatties never came stock with staggered sizes.

What your reading is the 2 different size of wheels that were available for different trim/models. They just used the same label to cut costs

I thought the only 14" rims were the '83 rim? It did come on some '84's, but it seemed to me it was only Starions. The '84 Conquest rim was 15".
