Can you get me a set lol
 
To me the 255/60/15 fills the wheel well like I'd have done it from the factory.

All that room and E78 14 factory is crazy.

However, I think it would look better if the wheel had a little less backspace and a little more dish.

I test fitted some 265/50/15 on 15x7 keystones and that look is perfect, period mid to late 70's day two.
 
You’ll find my car’s pic on the mentioned thread. 15x7 3.75 BS 255/60-15 all four corners is THE combo to get an upgraded performance setup on still kinda stock look
 
295/45xR18 in the rear (Nitto Xtreme) and 245/45xR17 (Nitto Extreme) for the front. Wheels in the back were 18 x 9.5.

Wow. Normally I don't like "modern" style wheels on our classic body lines, but those look good.
 
I don't have any pics, but I'm running 225/70R15 on front and 275/60R15 in the rear, all are on 15x8 wheels with 4.5" back space. No issues with rubbing however they are a tight fit. To do it again I'd run a 7" front wheel with 4" backspace as the front wheels stick out a little farther than I like and then use a 225/60 tire.
