14" Tire Size?

Yes, I just realized that Hoosier makes a 275 55 14 Quik Time DOt tire which has minimum rim requirement of 6". The question is has anyone used this tire before? I know most everyone is going with 15" or better wheel tire combos. The reason this appeals to me is I can use the original wheels and hubcaps for an even more stock appearance. Oh yes, 66 Satelllite with 440/512, stealth heads, 600 lift hyd roller, 11:1 compression, TCI street fighter 727, 3000 stall, and 3:23 8.75 w/sure grip. The tire is about an inch less section width and an inch shorter than a 275 60 15. The specs for the tire are below:

Just spoke with Stockton wheel in California and I can get their 40 series steel wheel in a 14 X 7 or 8 with whatever backspace. their wheel will take my original spinner hubcaps. I am totally doing this just to conceal the beast a little more. Just sleepin this thing.
