i think the biggest advantage of 15" over 14" wheels is tire options and availability... also in my opinion the 15s looks much better. 14" wheels dont clear some disc brake setups. Summit Racing offers some options, but not much, in 14 diameter. Summit Racing a 245/60-14 tire other than BFG is Cooper Cobra Radial G/T with a 205/70-14 matching front. if you chose a smaller tire, in 235/60-14 you have Cooper Cobra Radial G/T and Mastercraft Avenger G/T, with 215/60-15 matching fronts. if bias ply tires are no problem, you have Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles in L60-14 (295/60-14) and F70-14 (215/70-14)... i personally think 15" wheels and tires are the way to go... lots of brands make raised white letter tires in popular 15" sizes. in 275/60-15 for ex. you have: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, Mastercraft Avenger G/T, Goodyear Eagle GT II, Kelly Charger, Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS, National XT Renegade, Dunlop G/T Qualifier TR, Laramie Performer HP, Telstar Turbostar GT, Republic Invader Radial G/T. in other sizes you can also find Hercules H/P 4000, Road King WIDETRACK SR... if you like the slotted wheels, you can find 15" used ones in eBay with easy, and also new ones: web page hope this helps

The 71 B bodies have GRAND CANYON sized wheel openings,....fill them with the largest 15 inch tire you can stuff in there! .....the 14's will look like "clown" tires!
I agree they need the biggest tire you can put on. Small 14 inch don't look good on any b-body

I disagree, yes 15's are better for filling the wells, brakes ect, but if you are not looking for a wide tire and want to stick with a stock tire size close to what it rolled out the factory with you could use a 70 series tire, i have a set of 225/70/14's on my RR it fills the wells perfect.
