Unofficial Vote on Wheel tire combo
If I ever had to go with a stockish setup I'd go for the look mentioned above. I tried a spare dog dish on my Dart because a friend had it lying around and it looked great. I'd agree with going with a 15" wheel, even those are slowly getting harder to find.
Too bad you're all the way up North. I've got a set of 14" sbp steelies (I believe 4.5" thick) with 205/75/14 whitewalls. 2 of which are new Hancooks.
If you're wanting to keep the same diameter tire and not mess up your speedo, I'd run a P185/55R15 tire all the way around. It has the same diameter as the one's your running now. Fourteen inch tires get harder and harder to find every year, so if you're buying new wheels I'd get 15's. The tires above would fit nicely on some 15X6 steel wheels.
Get a nice set of dog dish hubcaps, and you'd be looking good!
As far as getting a better stance, new rear springs will get the rear end height set where you want it. They can be ordered at stock height, or +1 or +2 " if you like a little extra height in the back. When you rebuilt the front suspension, did you put new torsion bars in?
After good brakes, a good suspension is the best thing you can spend your money on IMHO. I'd even consider adding sub frame connectors. Even you don't plan on doing any performance driving, they will still tighten up your 50 year old chassis and make your car more enjoyable to drive. Add a set of good shocks and you should have a nice driving ride!
