[FC] Tire Size? (also Wheel Backspace)

 What's the recommended tire size for the GB? I'm using 14x6 steel wheels
and would like a 70 series profile tire. I think 195-70-14 would be good,
but 205 has been recommended instead. Isn't 205-70-14 too tall? And
205-60-14 too short/fat?

 I asked before about how to tell a correct GB rim. What I've found is this,
Of all the wheels that were on the van (two 14x5, two 14x6) the backspacing
is 3 1/2" on all. So, I'm going to get two more 14x6 wheels to make all 4
14x6.

 Thanks for the help,  Steve
