Title: will 225/70/14 BFGs fit on our gran sports
Post by: 35chevcoupe on February 06, 2017, 08:36:05 PM

Before I just order a set of tires , can anyone tell me if 225/70/14 inch tires will clear ok on my 65GS ?  The wheels are 14X7 steel wheels with a 4 inch offset .

Indirect evidence:  225/70-14 on my '68 GTO fit great, and 215/70-15 on my '65 Sportwagon fit great.

Title: But are they white-walls? (Re: will 225/70/14 BFGs fit on our gran sports)

Thanks guys .
Edouard , Going to order red lines but will probably have a couple sets of tires for this car .
Was thinking about 265 50 14 but they don,t make them in the red lines  .
