I need tires for my 68. I have 14 x 6 gt wheels. I'm looking at putting white lettering tires but not sure what series to go with. As of right now, I'm leaning towards the 225/70/14 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. Will the 60 series look better? What will fill the wheel wells up nice without having the rims look way too small?

This is the first of the E70x15 lettered tires.

Note the E70 mentioned above are 15". And if they are bias plies you don't want them anyway.

A 225/70-14 should be fine. You might have slight rubbing in the front at full lock.
