I would appreciate it if folks who have 14-inch Fuchs wheels could share photos of them on the car along with their tire size.

Our 1970 914-6 has what appear to be authentic Fuchs 5 1/2 J 14. I believe these were an original factory option. Trying to decide on tires. The manual and sticker on the car only indicates "185 HR 14". So no sidewall height is indicated.

I know there are lots of tire threads. I've been poking around the forum and I've seen listed everything from "185/70/14 was the OEM size" to "82 if they were measured like today's tires".

Vredestein Sprint Classic would seem like an easy choice, but they are out of stock everywhere I have looked.

Ultimately I guess I'm going to be stuck with what's available today and making an aesthetic choice. It will be spirited street driving in California, so I don't need to worry about all-weather or track demands. What's on the car now is 195/70R14 90R - Riken Radial 70 Steel Belted. Not a great photo as it's on a lift and the engine is out. I would normally run with a bit higher air pressure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
