How goofy (or not) does a P205 - 14 tire look on a '66
Have a lead on an affordable set of tires, wondering if it looks too teeny. It's just to get a roller ready for sale. Thanks !

You have to worry about more than looks. Check the load rating on the 205's and make sure it is at least close to the original tires. You don't want to over load the tires and blow one.

My first car - 69 Cutlass, needed new tires. Tire store said radial equivalent was 205-70-14. Way too small; should have been 215-75-14 at a minimum.

sweat it if the price is right. Not many people stick with the tires found on a project car anyways. |

They’ll be fine.
Yes a 215/75-14s would be better but one size smaller 205/75-14 isn’t unsafe and should look okay. Since they’re just for rollers grab ‘em if they’re cheap. When I first bought my ‘64 Tempest it was shod with 195/75-14s on the original 14x5” wheels and I drove it that way for over 40k miles.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
