1977 280z Stock Tire Size Help

[Datsun7]

Looking for some input and pictures of what tire size you may have currently on your Z with stock rims. I have been all through old threads looking for pictures and recommendations. Attached are the stock wheel I have. 14 inch rims 5.5 inches wide. Currently they have 195/70/14 tires. I want a more aggressive look but stay with the stock 14 inch wheels. I have heard 205/70/14, 215/60/14 and 225/60/14. Not sure if any or all will fit my 5.5 wide rims? Also, if you are running any of those I mentioned.... would love to see a picture of how it looks on your car! Thanks for your help! Jeff

I think you will find that 205's are the limit in any aspect ratio for the stock wheels.  A regular shop will not mount any tire wider.   Your options with the oem rims are limited.

I am pretty sure I ran Goodyear Eagle GT's in high school that were 225's on stock rims but they did scrub. Now that has been a long time ago...
