None of the 14 inch wheels we offer are compatible with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Long story short, yes you can. But going with the ST205/75R14 would be a better replacement than a ST205/75D14 because the R in the first size means it is a radial tire whereas the D in the second size means it is a bias ply. The main difference…
