the 385/70 is a 37" tire but it's only 15" wide on a 14" wide wheel that's a little too skinny. the 38.5x14.5R16 super swampers are also too narrow for a 14" wide wheel. General rule of thumb - tire should be about 2" wider than wheel. IMO, I'd back off the wheel width & run the Nittos. But, tires a light paint, everyone has their likes & dislikes!
