I have 245/60/14's under my 70 Dart, a Duster would be no problem with a 235.

14 inch ralley wheels are 5.5 and 6.0 wide. Even though , a 235 is a little wide for a 14 x 5.5, but ok on a 14 x 6.
Do you need a pair of 14 x 6 ???

I ran that combo for years on my Dart. The tire is a little (lot) pinched on a 5.5" rallye wheel, but it doesn't look bad with the trim ring installed. Get the backspace just right on a wider wheel, and you can sneak a 245 or 255 under there, but I don't know if that's even available in a 14 any more.

I'm not sure, maybe the 6" ones? I know the A-body (and some later cars) used 5.5" wheels, but I'm not sure which cars got the 6" wheels for sure. I would guess that if any did, a Challenger would be a good bet, but again...

A 245 on a 6" wheel would be about the same as a 235 on a 5.5" - a bit pinched, but do-able. I think custom offset and width wheels can be had from one of the previous posters, and his prices were pretty good, IIRC. Might be worth a shot to get exactly what you need rather than just something that fits OK.
