Yeah.
225/70x14 on steels

Right on the edge for the front. Probably will hit the front fender when turning and or the suspension travels up and down. A 215x70x14 would be safer. As for the rear no problem. I run this combination with no negative results. 215x70x14 on factory 14x5.5 sbp on the front with 225x70x14 on the same wheels 14x5.5 sbp on the rear.

I have 225-70-15 on the rear of my 67 Dart with the Mopar 15X7 steel wheels. Fit fine.

My guess would be something in the range of 6.95x13 ?? Or a D78x13 ??

On my 67 Dart that size was ok in the rear but rubbed on the lower front fender. I had sbp rallyes but I did have 73-76 factory disc brake conversion for the front. Went to 225/60/14 and solved the problem.

I should have said with 225/70/14 with drums and sbp rallies they rubbed a little on the front. Went to the lbp rallies with the disc brake conversion and they rubbed more. That conversion pushes the wheels out a little. Then the tire size change to 225/60/14 solved the problem.

I'm just a guy.
No fitment issues with quite a few road miles. 225/70/14 redline radials on stock 14x5.5 wheels. Some photos of a comparison with the E70-14 bias ply stock tires and same size wheels.
