Wheel/Tire opinions needed

[turbo36]

Looking at new tires and wheels for my 1965 Belvedere II. Leaning toward BF Goodrich radial T/A's; 215/70R15 on front and 255/60R-15 on back.
For wheels I like the A/R Torque Thrust or the Hallibrand 5-spokes either style with gray centers, what I end up with will depend on the available backspace options.

Need opinions to this combo and if I should run the RWL out or in.

thanks, Bob

I have a 64 Sport Fury which is the same in the wheel wells and I have 275/60-15 with a 4 1/2 inch backspacing. Doesn't rub anywhere. I think that's the same size tires (215/70-15) that I have on my car. You may want a tall tire to fill up the front wheel well. Imo, The car will look better without RWL. It clutters up the car. The stance of the car with the right wheel and tire makes more of a statement.
