    245/60/14 is the biggest I'm seeing from BFG or any of the other specialty tire cos. in the Jegs catalog (MT, Hoosier, etc).... You'll hafta go with 15's to get into the big stuff!

    the 215 75 14 is readily available and supposedly over an inch taller than the 245 60 if youre looking to gear up..

    225/60/14 is not going to look very wide or even be very tall on the back. That's the size I used on the front in the seventies...... If you get a pair of 15x10 rally wheels here: http://davidsrallywheels.com/wheels/4058379 you could use 275/60/ 15's or 295/50/15's.... TA radials available from Discount Tire or Tire Rack....
