I have 14x7 wheels. Stock height. Taking acceleration into consideration, which would be the better coice?
205/70
215/60
215/70
 
Anyone think the 1 extra pound on the 70 series or the extra width of the 215s will be noticeable on acceleration/braking?
 
Since no one replied I went with what I thought would look better 215/70 . I figure we all love pics so here are a few...outlaw II 14x7 SBP Stock height

Ah, I wish I could have seen this sooner. I opted for the 225/70R14 on mine, and my wheels are only 5.5" wide. But the 215/70 is a great option too. Looks good!

I didn't want to go wider since it's hard finding info on custom clearances. Also want to be able to rotate tires.

Yeah, I did the 225s all around so that I could rotate them as well. I believe that is the widest you can go on all four corners.
