Well just somethings ive hand on my mind for awhile now while im in the process of restoring my cuda is well... you guessed it. Tires. I have 14s on the front and 15s on the back to give it that nice race car style feel to it but Did I make a mistake going with 14s? Since those tires are getting a little harder to come by. Ill post pics of the rims here in this post shortly just give me some advice!!
 
Due to the limited choices with 14s, I would say it was a mistake. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for them and can recoup some when you sell them. However, you said "restoring", so maybe you should be looking for some 13s instead. I'm afraid you'll find them even more difficult to find.

Well 14s were already on the car when I purchased it so I havent payed anything extra for them but I might just do 15s all around just to save me some headache down the road later?
 
I personally stuck with the 14s for two reasons #1 my front disk conversion has dual bolt pattern #2 i have an 8 3/4 rear that i have not built as of yet which is/will be a big bolt pattern with disk also. So at that time i will convert to different wheels 15s or even 17 inch Coy's. 14 inch tires are still available in BFGs in the sizes i use and i'm happy with my Rally wheels [aftermarket rims are a huge problem due to lack of selection].
 

We have 205/70/14 up front and 235/60/15 out back on Jake's 65. Rallye all the way around. Bought wheel vintiques sbp 15's. Coop tires up front and I Fogel which drag radial he put on the rear.
 
14 inch tires are as easy as ebay.

Locally, you'll likely find 13's are easier to find than 14's.
