New wheels & tires for the "New" 67

Bought these from an ebay seller.http://www.ebay.com/itm/390629754151...84.m1423.l2649
They got me 27.1" tall tires for the front, (215-60-17) and 28.1" for the back, (235-60-17) Falken.
I added a before picture when it had original wheels w/hubcaps. It had 215-70-14 which are 25.9" tall.
A special thanks to Richard, Gearheads78, for pointing me in the right direction on the tire and wheel sizes.
The rest of this car is original, paint, top, interior, everything except a few wear items is original. And it has the Turnpike Cruising option which gives it the 400ci engine and turbo 400 w/switch pitch, and a 256 rear gear.

They fill the wheel wells nice. The car has a good stance with them.

What size are the tires and is your suspension stock? Yours has the stance I want for my '66.

I edited the original post to include the tire sizes and a before picture of the original wheels/hubcaps, and a before picture of the car. I did nothing to the suspension, all I changed were the wheels and tires.
