Hello everyone I have 14x4.5 bolt pattern x6in.rallye rims I was looking for some advice on tire size my car is a 74 dodge dart sport 8.25 rearend all stock suspension and brakes the tire size that originally from the factory was in today's measurement 205/70/14 or in 74 E70/14 what combo would look and work best I was thinking 235/60/14 all the way around what do you guys think thanks
 
If you went by diameter A 205/70/14 is 25.3" in diameter. A 235/60/14 would be 25.1" in diameter. 225/60/14 would get you closer at 25.5"

Two issues, do these sizes exist and with a 6" wide rim I wouldn't go wider than 225. Rim width and tire width go hand in hand.

Any reason not to get larger rims other than you have the rallies? Personally I think you can't get a better tires with out paying a premium until you get into 17" tires. Then you can have all the modern tire compounds, structure and thread faces you want.
 
I ran 235/60/14 tires all the way around on my first duster years ago, no issues.

It is the wheels that came from the factory and I completely restored them I really like the look of the rallye wheel
