I have a set of 14" wheels I would like to run. What would be a good size for the tires (front and rear) to fill the wheel wells?

The car that I have is a work in progress and have a long ways to go. Radial would be ok. I have a set of 14" center line style at the moment. I want to go with rallys when I can but need to run what I can.

Did you go 235s on the back? Then what size on the front?

It's really hard to find 14 inch tires, before locking in to 14's I would try to sell the wheels and move up to 15's. Tire choices for 15's are even slimmer than they used to be.
I have a set of old 15" aluminum mags that are very oxidized. I think I'll have to try and clean them up.

I have the original rallye wheels (14x5.5) on my '70 Challenger. They are the factory installed wheels, as for tires after I got away from old bias ply tires, I got into the steel belted radials, Dunlops, Remington XT-120. Then a set of Kelly Charger Radials, then after those back to Kelly Chargers in P225x60x14 in front and P245x60x14 in the back. These seem to perform quite well. I've kept the Kelly's in beautiful condition, but because of their age it's time to change to new. Went down to Americas Tires yesterday and for the same sizes, for BFG's out the door price $750. Thanks, Al

BF Goodrich's info on available tires... Click below the pictures of the tire where it says " Specs" that shows the recommended rim width for tire sizes.. If you were running Rally wheels most of them are 14x5.5 & the widest tire BFG suggests using is a 215/70-14
Here's a pic of them on the car. Thanks, Al
So, you couldn't find Kelly Challenger tires? I have a friend with a 71 Super Bee and he found Stinger tires, I thought that was cool too.
