Tire size question

Hey everyone. I would like your advise on choosing the best tire for my 14" SS2's. I currently have 205/75/14 with dog dish hub caps. I want to buy 225/70/14 for the SS2's. My question is will they look alot better than the 205, how will they fill the fenderwells and will it ad a more musclecar look.
Thanks for your help. It looks like the 225/70/14 is the biggest tire I can get with white lettering.

Both cars in my sig have 225 70 14 on them. There are loads of room left in the rear & more than ample space up front. I just put 15's on blue car w/ 245 60 in front & 255 60 in rear & it honestly doesn't look that different. Still plenty of room in back, front has no issues over bumps or full lock.

It may just be new tires (Cooper Cobras on all) but the car steered better before. It sort of oversteers now, need to make more little corrections while driving. Probably not even a 100 miles on them yet so like I say, they may just need to get scrubbed a bit more & they might tone down.

I guess they look a little more aggressive but nothing striking. I think some guys will push a 275 onto a 15 x 7 wheel, at least in the back.
