This question comes up a lot. The 225/70-14s are a much better choice. They are nearly the same diameter as the original tires and fill the wheel well nicely. The 245/60s are smaller in diameter and leave too much daylight in the wheel wells in my opinion. Keep in mind that the width difference between 225 and 245 is all of 3/4". Also, those are SuperStock wheels. "Rally" wheels are Chevy wheels.

That makes a difference as well. I have 205/70R14 and 225/70R14 on 87/88 aluminum rims on my 70S. I had 235/60R14's on the back, too short of a tire. The best looking tire if money is no object, is the Firestone Wide Oval Coker replica radial tire.

3/4 thats it don’t seem like a lot Ima end up going with the 225 70s then I seen some videos and liked how it fit just needed some advice from the Oldsmobile experts and I said rallys lol I apologize superstock wheels right

Yes Benny P225/70R14 would look great as far as width and height is concerned.

The G70-14 Bias-Ply Firestone Wide Oval Raised White Letter Tire would Cross Reference to a Radial Tire Size of P225/70R14.

245mm - 225mm = 20mm, which is 0.8" difference.
