I have 245/60 BFGs on my fastback, with stock 14x7 steel wheels, and like the width and height of them. They fit well with the body.
This thread has quite a few examples of tires and wheels

Any of the smaller tires are getting hard to find these days. I put Cooper Cobra 14's on my Ranger pickup, it was the only 14" tire my mechanic could get. BFG's are my faves, and they still come in all sizes. The BFG's will cost more Coopers, those are the only tires I know of. I have 15's on my Mach, with the 15" fatties on the back. Like them a LOT.

Thanks! The tires are BFG 295-50/15's. The wheels are 15x10 Wheel Vintiques with 5.5" offset. The tires will not co-exist peacefully with the rear sway-bar if you have one......I took mine off and tucked it away.Nice! Love those rear tires.

Finally Firestone to started producing their new Wide Oval Radials. I have had my order for five GR70 x 14s in with Coker Tires for nine months, just waiting for them to start shipping. Got them mounted on the original 73 aluminum slot wheels today and on the car they went. Took it out for a drive and the ride great a little softer than my T/A Radials, but the handling for a classic reproduction radial tire is just fine.

Running 225/70R14. 14" tires are getting limited and expensive. Switching to 15s over the winter as these tires are getting on in years....
I went from 14 to 15's on mine. they are getting just as hard to get and expensive. I would recommend a 16" rim. Theres a lot more selection of tires and prices have come down considerably over the years. And theres not much difference visually between a 15 and 16. Just my opinion. And what I plan on doing with mine in the future.Running 225/70R14. 14" tires are getting limited and expensive. Switching to 15s over the winter as these tires are getting on in years....
I run the bfg TA's as well. My next set of tires will include an upgrade to a larger rim. I would like more options and I want to run bigger disc brakes.
