What tire size do you guys use on a 14"?

I have some 14x7 slot mags that needs tires (front wheels).

I have 15x8 with 225/60 tires on the charger now, and would like to keep that diameter (25.6") on the 14" wheels.

Anyway, what do the 14" wheel guys use on your front wheels?

I have 235/60 all around at the moment. Not really big but looks alright.

My car is currently on 235/60 14's all the way around too.  The diameter is 25.1".  It looks okay... but I'm planning to go with 15" Magnums in the future.  (Love the slots too!) 

Here is a really good tool I think a member created:  http://vexer.com/68rt/wheelguide.html

Thanks for the reply guys, looks like 235/60 is the way to go, it's only 1/2" less diameter than what I've got now, and that's nothing!.  :cheers:

Some pics would be greatly appreciated!

Hopefully these two will come through.  I need to reduce my photos to post - so I can't speak to the quality.  Still figuring out how to do that too.

Also, my first Charger had slots: 14" in the front and 15" in back.  I think the tire sizes were 250/14/50 and 255/15/55.  I'll see if I have a decent photo of that to put up later.

Can't really see  :scope: Try to downsize the pictures to just under 200 kb.

I'm going with 15x10 in the rear and 14x7 in the front. Indy Slot Mags  :drool5:

where are you guys buying your tires and how much are they?  tirerack.com has them for $80 each.  http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?width=235%2F&ratio=60&diameter=14&x=48&y=9

I will be buying a set of 4 new tires real soon.  My 69 Charger has 245/60R14 tires on it now.

I can take one tonight after work.  They are the stock 14" magnum wheels, so whatever the stock backspacing is, i dont know.  There are 245/60-14 tires on it right now.
