For the next question, would you go with the E70-14(original size), or go for the next size up, which would be F70-14 I believe ?? Fill in the wheel wells a bit, or what do you all think.

I went with the F70x14 Coker redlines for my '67 RS/SS 396 Camaro. The Ds, although the original size, are too small for my tastes and the Fs do fill-out the wheel arches much better. Yes, the car hunts around on grooved roadways but they did that in 1967 too. My only gripe with my Cokers, bought in 2002, is that they don't clean and shine as easily as other tires. I use the Bleche-White and Armor-All method (the ONLY thing I use A-All on is tires) and they look good but over the winter they tend to leech-out whatever is in the tire compound and the sidewalls get 'gray,' for lack of a better description. There are threads on here as to how to clean/care for Cokers if you do a search. Lastly, the look of the belted tire cannot be beat, especially on a stock/stock-look car.
