BFG has the 245/60/14 (25.6 tall) RWL and if you don't want that wide up front you can run a 205/70/14 with it.(25.4 tall) Sams clubs often have them the cheapest but Walmarts and <A class=vglnk title="Link added by VigLink" href="http://www.tirerack.com/" rel=nofollow target=_blank vglnk_1331602168863="3">tirerack</A> are also usually reasonably priced. Stock height is 25.5ish so your speedometer and odometer also stay correct.

i'll be checking this out tomorrow! thanks for the help guys 8)
 
I have 235/60R14 BFG's up front and 245/60R14's in back. With my factory 14x6 aluminum rims, the 245's rubbed on the front.
 
I've never had 14s, but recently I had 15" RWL tires on my '87 MC SS. They were Firehawk Indy 500 radials, size 235/60/15.

Not 14's but I currently have BFG T/A 225/60r15's on my 1986 cutlass salon and on the 1985 442 I have Indy 500 235/60r15's.

Definetly Indy 500's, Personally I like the tread design better, and you even get a 'fast' sounding tire, haha, I'm definetly gunna get 235/60/14 for my Cutlass all around, especially after seeing them on my uncles '66 Skylark

Not to get off subject, but u got some beautiful cars there. I've always ran rwl tires on mine. They set the car off. I've had about every brand out there. When I was younger the rear tires seemed to wear down pretty quick. Lol 😛
 
that hurst is AWSOME!!
 
You know I think the best overall musclecar look for the 14" ralleys is the 235/60/14s up front and the 245/60/14s in the rear. The height difference is only .5 or 1/2" so the rake would not be too great, the speedo/odo is still correct because its based on rear tire height and the 205/70/14 is pretty skinney for the size of car.

I also prefer the Firehawks but they don't have them in the best sizes in 14s.

Minion's cars are sharp. Minion did you ever get that Lauren engineering scoop for your air breather/hood?
 
I've owned many different brands of tires and in MY OPINION I think the Dunlop G/T Qualifiers are the best performing and best looking RWL tire for our cars. The lettering is bigger and brighter than on the BF Goodrich's and the tread is more aggresive and lasts longer. Also go with 15"s they will fit with no rubbing. Oh and these tires are about 5 years old! and the rims are get this 17 years old!!

Yea but he has 14" factory ralleys that he is looking for tires for and asked about that. So talking about anything other than 14s is a moot point.
