That is what I usually use with 8 lugs and they work fine. The 235 75-R14 is about the same diameter as the 855-14 that came from the factory. The speedo on my 60 is just about dead on.

I actually found some 215/75-14 Cooper Trendsetter SE tires, 3/4"WW----$85 each including mounting/balancing at my local tire supplier. 215/75 are less than .6" less in diameter than the 225/75. Can't really notice a difference in the wheel well or speedo.
