1970 Coronet Wheel size recomendation

[terminationephx]

I am looking to purchase new wheels and tires for my 1970 coronet. I was hoping someone can refer me to a post or provide recommendations for the best tire size to fill the wheel wells of a 1970 coronet?

I like the look of the tire taking up most of the space rather than the tires getting lost in the space of the wheel well and size of the car.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I included some cars that look the way i want mine to look.

Thanks

Different year cars look better with different wheels but it is always our taste in the looks, the 70 is such a nice looking model and to me can be fitted with a number of different wheels and look great.. The Keystone classics are one of my favorites But there is so many others, And i like the Torque wheels But the choice is kind of personal taste and here is a link that you could look over many of the ones available.. Thats some nice looking rides there!

What kind of rear tires are you wanting? Radials? Drag Radials? I have had many different wheel/tire combos on my 70 Super Bee in the last 15 years. There is a LOT of room there with no mods. Offset makes a huge difference too. Also, are you wanting 15" wheels? Or something taller(God, I hope not...but that is just me).

If you are sticking to 15's and know what type of tire you want, I have probably tried it. So if you let me know I can try to help.

The 70 Bees are my favorite B body hands down.

I love my 69 RR.... But would trade it all plus the gal down the road for the right 70 Bee.

i am looking to make the car a driver, so radials will be the preference. 15inch wheels are what i have now. in the rear they just seem to look narrow, and from some angles almost look like "doughnuts" when compared to the space in the rear wells.

do you have pictures you could post of your wheels, tires and what size they are?

Thanks for the response.
