Going with 14x5.5 road wheels for my '70 Challenger. Any clearance issues if I go with a 215 tire (215/70R-14)? Ok fit on that rim? Thanks.

No problems, 215/70-14 is about the OE size.... I have fit 235/60-14s with no issues although they bulge a bit in the middle.

Should fit ok, I think these are 215 75 14's on the front in this pic.

You could go up to 225's if you want to. No troubles at all.

Thanks guys. Yeah, my next question was how much larger could I go. Will probably go w/225. Thanks again.

That's what I have on the front of mine.

I have the 225/14's in the '74 all the way around -- no problems!
