Any thoughts on what size redline radials I should mount on 14 x 6 SS1 wheels?

205 70?

215 70?

or?

Thanks,

Dave

 

If it was mine I would go with the larger tire. 215/70

 

Both are on the small side for the car, but are pushing the limits of the rims. Rule of thumb is that the section width should be within an inch of the rim width. The 205s have an 8.07" section width but only a 25.30" diameter. The 215s have an 8.46" section width and a 25.85" diameter. I feel that A-bodies look best with about a 27" diameter tire, which would be a 215/75-14 if you could find one.

 

Thanks both of you for your help, Ill probably go with the 215 75 14 as you suggested Joe.

I just checked out Coker tire, they have them.

 

Here is a shot of my 67 with Diamondback Red lines-275-60x15 on Cragar 15x10's in the rear and 235x15's with Cragar 15x7's on the front. I interested in more detail let me know.

 

Nice looking car! The 15's really fill the wheelhouses-

therobski,
Your 67 looks great! Did you have to mess with the backspacing at all to fit those 15x10's on the rear?
