You mean too short, or too skinny?
If you want a fatter tire that is about the same diameter, run a 205/60 if you have room. I don't know if that will clear a long axle car though with the wheels you have...

I think a 205/60 or 205/65 should fit with long axles. I think that is what James is running on his '67.

Yeah, if you want something taller go with the 205/65, that's a 25.5" tall tire, about an inch taller than your current tires and a whole lot meatier looking :thumbs:
