Post your wheel and tire combos.

I know this is from an old post but what does "Low Pad" mean here?
Fronts are 17x8 5.5BS low pad with 245/45/17
Rears are 17x9 5.5BS low pad with 255/45/17

Thanks.
Your car looks great!

It reffers to the shape of the portion of the wheel that connects the hub to the outer wheel. It's shape allows for different size calipers. A low pad design wood be for your stock or smaller brake setups. Weld does a nice job illustrating this on their website
 
Thinking about getting new tires for the Scamp so tried the neighbours tires on for size. 215/70/14 on the front and 225/70/14 on the rear. I know the 215’s are pretty tall and with them on they are very close to the lower front fender edge as I turn the wheels past the fender. Drivers side has less than a 1/4 inch clearance on the front. Not sure I want to grind away the inner edge of the fender for more clearance. The 215’s sure fill up a lot of the front fender.

Not sure what to think of Magnums on the Scamp but they do look good on his Coronet!

I think the magnums look great on your car, and I would keep it to a 205 tire on the front. The 225/70 rear should be fine, I ran them for a couple years on my 70 Dart without issues.
Just my opinion.
