Default 14" vs 15" rims on 1970-1973s

I was wondering who is running 14s on their 2nd gens?

I have 15" Z28 rims and a really cool set of 14" vintage Cragars that I can trade em for. (I don't have a Z28 car and I don't have my tire sizes handy). I'm at a tough spot because I like both rims - any comments or observations (and pictures) are welcome!

Believe it or not 14" tires are gonna be harder and harder to find.

I know - I was actually thinking about that, too. I'm not real interested in buying *new* tires, and I wasn't sure if I could actually find a decent set of used 14s.

I've been looking at the F-Bomb Camaro, and I kinda like the solid black steelies (similar finish on my Z28 rims) and that bare-bones look is similar to what I'll be doing with the car. And I am pretty sure those are 15s. But I'll keep looking.

i got 14" up front on my camaro and 15" in back. i was going to run 14s all round cause i got a matching set. but im going to look for 15" wheels to match the 14s then just swap rubbers and be golden. my front and rear tires dont match. sorta embarrassing. lol centerline wheels in back and us slotted mags in front haha

i would go with 15's too..I have 14's on the front and 15's on the back of my camaro too but as soon as the front tires are low on tread i might get some 15" front wheels.
