Choice of wheels

18" or even 19" wheels with a (typical) 26" tire are going to "ride" just fine. That's what comes on most mid/full size cars in 2020. They'll work great on a '60s car too. The problems start with 20" and bigger wheels. There is almost no sidewall, and going to a larger diameter tire will not work (i.e. fit) in most cases. Plus, they start to look very cartoonish at that point. And that's really where the "looks" come into play. But, everyone has their own opinion.

Or the how about "I'll take anything old school looking that fits with the new K-member coil-over conversion and doesn't look like it came off a Civic"
I used plywood mockup wheels to determine the overall size on what would fit.
the fronts are 16 x 6 on 24 inch diameter tires. there is no motor in car, in the pic so it will be "tucked in" once there is some weight.
Years ago I had a 71 Torino set up for road racing, and when it comes to performance in that class... you have enough tire to stop, go or turn... but not two at the same time.
this car will have all the tire I can squeeze into it.
