I thought '69's were the first year to use 14x7 standard.

Hey, where's all you '69 guys??

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

I have 14 x 6 , but they not original rims to my car!

using 235 -60-14 BFGs....But I think the stock was 6' wide?? or maybe that was my 68? (cant remember....getting too old! LOL)

maybe Vikkis site with broschures tells the sizes?

I'd think 14x6 was "stock" for 6-cylinders, and 14x7 was offered for a couple bucks more.....Yellowbird is right of course, just check out her link and you are good to go.

'68 428 HO M3 Monster, 4-on-the-floor! Need I say more?
