For a GLUG (Glued to Ground) look, I would recommend P215/65/R14 all the way around, for a stock wheel.

I believe the stock size would be more like P195/75/R14, but I could be wrong.

What size wheels are you using?

Glenn Morgan: 66 GT V-Burgundy Fastback 351w+toploader+9 in. TracLoc. Started out as a rusted-out Chicago-area crusher. After sacrificing a solid 66 coupe for its sheetmetal sub-assemblies, I have one solid (and expensive) work in progress!

You definitely need some serious meats on those wheels. I have 15x7 Styled Steel wheels for my 66. I plan to use P215/60/R15 on mine.

Wide wheels! Is the car lowered? I've seen 235-50s (and even 245s on the rear) on 15x8s but the cars typically have the fender lips 'rolled' for clearance. The fronts are going to be very close. Of course, the backset on the wheels comes into play.
