Re: Wheels . . . . ?
Any local non-affilliated tire store should be able to get them from a wholesaler. For sizing, run 215/70/14 or 235/60/14. These have similar diameters to the 205/75/14 you're thinking about, and a 205/70/14 will look awful on a 7" rim (too skinny). Neither should pose any rubbing threat with non-reverse offset Cragars (3.5" backspacing, I think?)
At any rate, ask the tire guy what the TREAD WIDTH dimension is on the tires you're looking at. This dimension is less than the cross sectional size measured at the sidewall bulges, which is denoted in millimeters in the tire size (i.e. the 235 in 235/60/14). I like the tread to be at least as wide as the wheel for a properly proportioned look. (No snickering from you big baloney and pizza cutter Street Freak types!)
[This thread reminds me that I need to put my set of 14"x7" Keystone RAIDERS with new BFG TA's on the parts board. Raiders are Keystone's Cragar s/s-knockoff design. Interestes parties should go there now if interested [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]]
Good luck!
