I have a pretty good idea they will but I need some quality re assurance. Can I put a 215/60R/14 on my 14x6 stock rim? Also what is the fattest tire I can put on that rim?
Will These Tires Fit?

I heard you can go 245/60 on a 14x6. I personally am going to go with 235/60 all around so they can be rotated. You will be fine with that size.

Funny you say that I just went outside and looked at the rear tires I pulled off before I got my 4 new BF Goodrich 205/70R14's, The Rears were 245/60R14's! Im going to buy some fatty's for the rear for summer, spring and fall. But Winter im putting the other ones back on.
Will the 245's throw my speedo off?

215s would be a little small.As for throwing the speedo off try this site

It says when Im travelling 60 mph my speedo actually is 60.1 mph :lol: I called Tire Wholesalers and they said it would be $220.00 Out the door with the 2 Rear Tires Installed.
Stock height is 25.5 for a regular gbody. (26.0 for a performance gbody) A 205/70/14 is 25.4 tall and a 245/60/14 is 25.6 tall which makes for a great looking combination and correct gearing for the speedo. 1/10th is nothing an inch would throw it off some but still not dramatic. But i have to agree if you want to run the same size all the way around it would probably need to be the 235 as I think the 245s are pushing the rim limits on a front tire. I have seen a GP with the old Pontiac Ralleys 15x7s up front and widended 15x8s in the rear which looked great.
------Just to clear anything that might not have been understood fully up for anyone wondering.--------
As of now I have 4 BF GoodRich Radial T/A 205/70R14's all the way around my car, Brand new.
The Tires that were on prior to that were some half Tread Cooper 205/75R14s (I could be wrong, but close) for the front - and for the rear some Daytona 1/4th Tread 245/60R14's.
I want to buy some BF GoodRich Radial T/A 245/60R14s for the Rear.
