What would be the correct tire size or sizes to fit on the '69 ss 14x7 rims? Thanks for your help.

I think from the factory they were G70's. That's P225/70R14 in modern terminology. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

They were F70's or 215/70/14.

Thanks guys I appreciate the information and quick response. Another thought has anyone tried to use tire size 235/60R14? Any problems? Would it enhance the appearance or take away? Thanks for your thoughts...John

Dunlop GT Qualifier tires 245/60/14 will also fit nicely. I just replaced mine with 245/50/16 on '86 IROC replica rims and added a LOT more contact patch!
