Thanks for the reply. How do you like that size as far as looks and handling? Do you have a pic of your car taken from the side showing how the tires fill the wheel wells?

I've got 14" 8 lug wheels and was looking for the tire size that looks good on a 67 GP.

I'm very happy with them. I ran the same size on a '65 Grand Prix I used to have too.

Here are a couple of side shots..

14" wheels were std on B body cars thru 1968. In '69 they went to 15". All 8 lugs (59/60-68) were 14" however you can get 15" now made as aftermarket. But very pricey.

'69 GP's used a 14" wheel and then went to 15" in '70 IIRC.

Almost any Rally style wheel if far more attractive than the hubcaps of the day IMO.
