I have a friend here with a 67˝ 2000 and his car and another
2000 have 185/65-14 on 14" Minilite wheels. They are on the
low side but my friend says the car feels "better" on highway
speeds that you and I are used too, here. Original looks or
not is up to you. A 175R-14 would be closer to the stock
diameter as you cant get the tall 145-14 in radials.
