Hi all!
My 1973 CSi has 14 inch staggered Alpinas and currently has 205/60/14 tires on the front and 215/60/14 on the rear. The tires look too low profile for my taste, and don't fill out the arches very well. I am going to install a set of Michelin XWX tires and I am planning on 205/70/14 front and 215/70/14 rear.
It looks to me like there should be plenty of room, but thought I'd check to see what others are using with staggered 14 inch Alpinas. Also, I am about to install Bilstein shocks and Carl Nelson springs all the way around, which will obviously have some bearing on tire clearance.
For anyone who is interested, there are lots of photos of the car (which I only bought a few weeks ago), and an ownership log of sorts, at the following link:

Many thanks!
