I have a very clean 67' valiant that I am upgrading from 13' wheels to 14" wheels just curious if anyone has tried to fit this same configuration and how big a radial T/A can I go? Thank you!

235/60 is already pushing it on stockish wheels.
Sidewalls are being pulled in causing the car to drive on the center of the tires mostly.
Tirepressure becomes more important to keep a good contact patch to the road.

But I doubt you'll be able to run anything larger anyway.

I'm looking at BFG T/A's 225/70/14's hoping not to have any rubbing or clearance issues. You would of thought those Chrysler engineers would of taken more consideration of us gearheads 50 years in the future Hot Rodding Grand Ma's Grocery Getter?

They thought they made good hot rods themselves al ready at the time. smile

However, a 70-series tire is not what I would call HotRodding but if stepping up to 14" gives you more tire-choice then it's all for the good.
