OK, you're killing me w/ your 14" wheel choice. It's probably actually cheaper to get the 15X7 and 15X8 or 15X10 for the rear. As for the Here's what I came up with for some suggested 'retro feel' yet timeless choices for tires..pardon the detail:
Rear:
http://www.coker.com/viewinventoryim...ges/big/87.gif
* Size: P275/60-15
* Tread Depth: 12/32
* Polyester/Fiberglass belted construction
* Circumferential tread grooving provides maximum traction on wet and dry surfaces
* *Overall Diameter: 27.86
* *Cross Section: 10.50
* *Foot Print: 9.50
* Rims: 7 - 10
* Price: $135.00
Front:

* Size: P235/60-15
* Tread Depth: 11/32
* Polyester/Fiberglass belted construction
* Circumferential tread grooving provides maximum traction on wet and dry surfaces
* *Overall Diameter: 26.98
* *Cross Section: 9.70
* *Foot Print: 8.50
* Rims: 6.5 - 8
* Price: $130.00

PS - on the Camaro now are 195/75/14s, I want to get 205/75/14s. What should I do??

These will look puny...trust me, I've owned a handful of 2nd gen Camaro's. For a perspective on this, take a tape measure w/ a metric readout out to your car and look at how wide 205 MM is..that's how wide these tires would be at the widest point (i.e. sidewall bulge). Now, measure the car/truck that you drive to work and see how that relates. I'm guessing you'll get some perspective from this.

PPS attached are the Keystone's I was referring to earlier
