Have a stock GT350 with non lowered control arms and am wondering about what's the best 14" tire that won't rub on the fenders
Any suggestions, tires on the car are approaching 6 years old and it's time to replace them
I ran BF's on mine, I ran 245 50s in the back and only rubbed when people sat in the back or if I hit a big dip. I ran 235 50s in the front. I had 600lb lowering springs in front and reverse eye leafs in the back. Loved the stance of the car with 14s and those tires, very aggressive looking.
Sounds neat but I have stock suspension, no lowering, (fixed typo, damn spell check) don't think they'll work
These radial construction Goodyears are a recent release.

I'm running BFG T/A's, 205-70R/14, have plenty of room and my a-arms are lowered so you would have no issues. Next time I'm going with 215's.

I'm running smaller BFG T/A's and am happy with them, I might go with the 205's
Thanks
I've been running BFG's for the last two years with no issues. 215/60's in front and 235/60's in the rear. They fill out the wheel wells nicely but I don't think I could go any wider. Before putting the Magnums back on I was running repo ten-spokes with the same size Goodyear Eagle GT's that rubbed in the rear over large bumps.
I have a set of those Lucas tires and they're bigger than what a bias F70x14 was back in the day. They are actually sized between a 215/70R14 and a 225/70R14. They rub on my car but my front springs and alignment are f'd up so I'm not a good example. Backs are ok.
i have 215 70 14's on my car . . . Michelin XWX . . . pricey, but they really work.
The T/A Radials come in good sizes, but are terrible tires. Looking forward to hearing what other options may be out there after a fairly exhaustive search myself in preparation for spring.
XWX tires came on Ferraris of the period . . . they are V-rated.
Zoom in on the tires in the attached picture.

How do you like the performance of those?
Im running 225-60-14 on all 4 with 10 spokes. BFG Radial TA
I also have 215/60/14 BFG's on a non-lowered car. These are good tires for the money. I only use the car for cruise-ins and shows so I don't know how well they perform on wet roads, snow or on the track.
I can tell you from actual experience, they are not good in the snow
TA's work pretty well when parked in the garage. They are round and black and they hold air fairly well. I'd say that their limitations include dry traction, cornering, wet traction, and would agree that snow traction is limited. 8)
I agree with your description
