Rob,

    I'm rather new, but would like to help where I am somewhat able. 
I  have a 1973  "B" and looked in  the owners manual,   here are the 
findings:

Wheel size:
    Pressed spoked 5J FH X 14
    Wire 4.5 X 14 (60-Spoke)
Tyres:
    Tourer 155SR-14 Radial-Ply
    GT 165SR-14 Radial-Ply
    
    I  added  all  new  rubber  to  the  car  when  I  purchased  it.
I   installed  Goodyear  Invicta  radials    (P175/70R14)  and  love  
the characteristics. They are all weather, and seems to do Ok in the 
wet.   I sure your 72 shouldn't be  to different but I'm sure you'll 
get many reponses from some better authorities.
