OK, I know what will fit, I can't decide what wheels I want, but I have one question:

Do the radial tire sizes listed in the Dodgestang chart, or the Halibrand chart (amongst others) have an overall diameter similar to the original 6.95 x 14 crossplies? If not, I assume they are smaller in diameter - what do you guys do about speedo readings?

We have so many speed cameras over here, and traffic cops with laser guns hiding behind trees, I can't afford to be not knowing how fast (and it WILL be fast) I'm going...

One speed camera, less than 1 mile from my house, rakes in over a million pounds (that's pushing 2 million bucks) every year in fines.

Each different tire size will have its own diameter.You might be able to get your speedo close,but it will never be dead on.

OK, I suspected as much.

What is the OD of the 6.95 x 14 crossply setup?
