Hi,
I have a new set of 14 inch ralley wheels for my 1968 chevelle and want to know what radial tire sizes will fit? presently there are F-70-14 tires on the front and G-70-14 tires on the back.

Thanks

Go to your local tire store and ask them what tire converts to the same size as F70 and G70's if you are trying to get the same look.

That is what I did with my 67 (on 15" Ralley's). Unfortunately I am at work so I am going from memeory but I think I ended up with P215 or P225 70R tires on the front and P235 70R tires on the back

Edit: I meant to add but forgot was, if you are looking to go with the raised white letter look, I would suggest BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. Reasonably priced and generally considered to be an all around good tire. Lots of people use them on these older muscle car and I have them on all three of mine
