Tire sizes
I have an axle code 84(3:45 ratio) on my 94 2.3 2wd standard 5 spd running strong with 224,000 miles.... I currently have 195/60r14 tires. I’m thinking about getting a set of explorer wheels and going with 205/60r15.. any thoughts how this would affect mpg?? That’s the reason I got the truck for a daily but I have a chance to get the explorer rims for free...

P195/60R14 diameter on a 6" rim is 23.23"
P205/60R15 diameter on a 6" rim is 24.69"
Since an Explorer rim will be 7", the diameter will be a little less than 24.69"
Might improve your mileage a tad, but slow down your acceleration and hill climbing speed a little.
