<VV> 205/70-14's?

[Bill Elliott]

I have a set of 205/65VR4 (just slightly shorter than the 205/70-14s) on 
a set of GM 14x6 steel rims on a stock '67 vert (with slightly sagging 
springs) and mine grab the wheel well trim at the top (both sides) on 
bumps near lock. I'm hoping a set of new Clarks HD springs cure this.

I have a set of 205/60HR14 on 14x6.6 Minilites on a lowered car (HD 
sprins cut a coil) and they don't  rub anywhere under any conditions.
