Tire Suggestions for 14 X 6.5 inch wheels

[wavemux]

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!

I have 205/60-14 tires on my 14x6.5 +9. I think they fit nice, but judge for yourself.

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.
