Default 14 inch tires

I just found aluminum slots that I have been searching for, one small problem, NO ONE makes decent sized 14 inch tires, 225/70 or 245/60 is the best I can find, what happened to the 275/60? outside of expensive MT, what are my options? should I find a set of 15's, and use the 14 for yard art? perhaps a new planter?

245/60's have been the biggest you could buy for several years. That's a decent size tire for most needs. A 275 would only get you maybe 2 inches wider at best. That's not really a lot to worry about.

Ive been looking for a while since I got these slick 14X10 Rallys, but no rubber to be found that wont break my bank. Kelly used to make a Charger 275/50R14, but not any more.

BF Goodrich makes a 265/50r14 which is s rated. But they are quite a bit steeper in price, than the next smaller size. Are the slots used or have you found someone making some. I would sure like some.

I have 2 14X8 slots, and 2 14x7 slots, they look pretty good, but could use polishing, I am really starting to think that I will not be using them, I just found a pair of 15X7 steel wheels, I can paint them to make them work. I have about $125.00 tied up in those slots, make me an offer.
