This has probably been asked 100 times before, but I'm going to ask again.
I want to put on a set of Cragar s/s 61C wheels. I want a classic look, but want it to look right as far as stance and offset. This what I've come up with so far, let me know if I'm close or not!
Front: 15x7 4.0BC with 235/60R15 BFG T/A's
Rear: 15X8 4.25BC with 255/60/R15 BFG T/A's
Thanks for the help and suggestions!

That would work. I ran the same set up except 245/60's on the front of a 69 Road Runner.
 
That's pretty much exactly what I have on my GTX. After resto will go back to the exact same thing. The only difference is I'm into Goodyear polyglas L60 rear, f60 on the front. If the L60 doesn't fit - no reason it shouldn't unless you recently went to rear disc brakes. If stock doesn't matter.

you go with what you like. I love that look and stance. It's bad ***. If you switch to Goodyear you can get them at Universal Vintage Tires. Much lower shipping than Yearone. If you stay with BFG hey that'll look cool too!

Would 17" be a better choice?

If you want a taller tire, you could go with 275/60/15 on the rear and 225/70/15 on the front. The rims you have picked will still work fine.
 
If you want to stay with the old school look stay with 15"s. I've got the exact dimension wheels and tires on my RR, I actually could have fitted a larger rear tire than the 255 if I wanted to but I like the way it turned out.
 
I've got 2756015s on mine
