P205/75 R14 or P215/70 R14

Thanks for all the responses. Glad to see a lot of you have put as much time and effort into thinking about tire size as I have.

I'm really sold on the 205/ 70 R 14

The car currently has a set of dry rotted 215/ 70 R14 but I'm really looking for a "1974, this is they looked in the 70s" look.

I see the 215/ 70 r14 do fit and look good but I think the narrower tire will make less noise on the highway which is where it is intended to be a lot.

It almost seems like the 74 duster has a bit more fender clearance on the front than earlier cars, could be optical illusion.

My car has a few feet of front tire clearance right now lol because I removed the fenders.

Looks like a nice start...
I do miss the white lettering. Pretty much all the modern tires now are blackwall, with some SUV & light truck tires having them.
I see some people trying to either paint them or put stick-on white lettering, it's just not the same. The paint looks like garbage after a couple months or less. And for the stick-on's I've seen a lot of them peeling off in short order as well.
