Posted June 10, 201014 yr comment_322128 Hello all:I recently acquired a nice set of vintage Minilite 14" X 6.5" aluminum wheels and am trying to find a tire that will fit but still give me a vintage/period look. My car (1973 240Z) is the stock height. I'm not looking for track/race performance. Just a nice daily driver tire that will fill out the wheel wells nicely. I've searched the forum and found references to different size wheels and what would be appropriate for various applications. Just have not found anything specific to the 14" X 6.5". Any suggestions would be most appreciated.Thanks!Sam Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36135-tire-suggestions-for-14-x-65-inch-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 10, 201014 yr comment_322129 I have 205/60-14 tires on my 14x6.5 +9. I think they fit nice, but judge for yourself. Mark Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36135-tire-suggestions-for-14-x-65-inch-wheels/#findComment-322129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 10, 201014 yr comment_322171 Sam, I know my car is a 280 but I put 205 - 70 / 14 on mine. They are BF Goodrich TA Radials, I think they look good and fit nice, A little taller than the 195-70/14 stock tires, from 24.7 to 25.3 so just .6 inches taller.
