My plan is to go with the ralley 2 rim,,,either aftermarket or oem. I tried the firestone wide oval radials in g70-14 but the tread width is only 6" vs advertised 6.9" and 26.6" tall vs advertised 27". Just look too skinny on the car.Sent them back and Im abandoning 14" rims and going 15" for more of a height/width selection. So Im going either 15x7 or 15x8. And BFG T/a or like mickey thompson white lettered.Id like to stick with all 4 tires/rims the same size. So it sounds like maybe a 245/60-15 on 15x7 or 15x8,,,4"BS or 4.5" BS. I like the 27" tall 255 but it sounds like it might rub on the front. Some claim no rub on a 70 gto where some have with the 255. I think both 245 and 255 60's are like a 8" tread width. Traction with the 7" that are on it are bad enough,,,Wide ovals are 6",,dont need to try less of a tire width.. Pic is of the wide ovals i tried but sent them back.
