Before I chase all over creation trying to find a decent size tire for my Dart, I thought I'd ask here. I am using factory 14 x 5.5 steel wheels, and was wondering what size tires (for the rear) you guys might recommend that would look nice. I know selection is somewhat limited, but I don't want to end up with something that looks funny.

I've run 215-70-14s on my GTS for years. You might be able to run a little larger, but I've never tried it.

If you stick to tire manufacturer recommended rim sizes 215 is the widest on a 5.5 rim. 225/70/14 would probably work though. I've got a set of 5.5" Ralleys with 225's. I didn't run them much but appearance, handling and wear seemed OK.
