I am almost complete with my total body restoration on my 68. I am going to order new magnum wheels….what wheel and tire size combination would give it the best aggressive stance.
I currently have the original 14 inch steel wheels with original hub caps. Thanks in advance.

Ain't nothin' wrong with what it came
with if your intent is to keep it as close
to stock as possible.
Lots of builders upgrade their wheels
as a matter of personal taste, some
change them to follow the current
trend. Personally, rubberbands for
tires and 20 inch rims take away
from the original intent of the design.
But there's no accounting for personal
taste.

15x7 on the front and either 15x8 or 15x10 on the rear. If you go 10", you need to measure carefully to get the correct backspacing that fit under your car.

If the intent is for a stock look. No one
will discount you for more rubber on
the road.

These are the sizes I run on my cars and am on the same page as the OP to give it "the best aggressive stance".

I second this^^^^I got this setup on 3 b bodies, running 8's on rear of a 68 GTX, 10's on rear of a 69 Coronet and 71 Charger. All 3 look great!
