Wheel and tire question for 68 GTS

Thanks guys. Yes, it is in the registry as #492. I just got it in October and haven't had the chance to inform the registry of a new caretaker. I wanted to put my stamp on it before I sent in a new picture. Bought it from a knucklehead Chevy guy who thought he liked Mopars, or at least Darts. Started doing some nutty things to it then decided to sell it after one month of owning it. Good thing as he wasn't helping it much. I turned the tires around as they are T/A's and I like the white letters. They add a nice contrast. I can't find a new picture of it with the new springs and RWL's. The problem is the tires on there now are 225/70/14's on the front and shoehorned on 245/60/14's. I think the tires are tooo large for the 5.5 inch rims. Those 245's fit on the back with probably about 3/8 inch clearance. I just want to keep it relatively stock looking or day 2, and to help it ride better, which I think the 15x7's will do. I don' know about 15x8's with 235's.

At some point, when I hit the lottery, I'll put the redline tires on the white 14x5.5's like it came from the factory. They're over $200 a piece.


I found some before and after pictures. First one is with the blackwalls and before new leaf springs. Second is the RWL's and new leaf springs. It gave it just a slight rake and I adjusted the torsion bars for final adjustments since then.
