I am running 225/60 14's on mine, with a 1" drop.  No rubbing in and out of my driveway or around corners.

Very nice!  I'm just not sure if the backspacing on a 10-spoke is the same as that for a Hertz Magnum 500 rim.

Thanks.

I do not know either, maybe someone here knows.

I found this pic on the internet and lifted it because I particularly warmed up to the deep dish on this magnum 500. Makes me almost want to put a set of Magnum 500s on the red Hertz. Almost...
Tire size looks like 205 70R 14 for this front wheel on a blue Hertz.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Here is a blow up shot of the tire measurement. Tire appears to be Yokahama.

^^^  I've pretty much decided on that particular size tire.  Thanks for the images.  That's a huge help.

To supplement the center caps for a Hertz are supposed to be red and gold with black lettering instead of black and gold. The experts can chime in and correct the record if I am misinformed.

Wound up getting BF Goodrich radial TA's (205-70's) all the way around, including spare.  All is good!  I entered the car in a show last weekend benefitting Alzheimer's disease. I entered a raffle of several bottles of Carroll Shelby wine in a nice wooden case.  All of my 42 tickets went into that drawing with the idea that I'd be taking that wine home with me.  No such luck!  Oh well.  It was a nice event with quite the variety of cars on display.

Looking great!  Anyone try to rent your car for $17 per day and 0.17 cents per mile?

Same size on all four corners
