I currently ahve the after market stock looking ralley wheels on my 67 (I beleive they are 14x6 maybe 14x7 not sure). Anyway, the tires that were put on them are BF Goddrich 245 X 60 14 radial T/A's.
For some reason they just don't look right. I'm not sure if it's because the tire looks a bit wide for the wheel or they tires are just plain ugly!!
Before I go and buy another set of either 215/70 or 225/70, I'd love some advice on what size to get and what tire brand to get.
Thanks!!

Opinion only ... but I would suggest for a 67 car to have it looking period correct you should only use 70 series tires ,as in 67 no 60 series available 67 was first year for 70 series tires for Chevelles...your 60 series look odd because they pbly too low and leave a big gap to top of wheel well ...again my opinion only but these cars look best with a min of a 27" tall tire I prefer 28" tall tire which would mean a 225-70 as a min size or 235-70 's for the 28" or combo of 225 on front and 235-70 on rear ... to be really correct go for repo " wide ovals " or for way better ride pick some nice radials ..... chose the height of the tire first that suits your car then pick size to give you the width you want while maintaining that height target. Again my opinion only

Not sure of the quality, but maybe some of those Radial Redlines (Diamond Back Classics)... Thye have lots of sizes to choose, and I think the redlines look good...
