'70 Cutlass SX with 17" inch rims, looking for tire size suggestions

I recently acquired a set of SS1s that Wheel Vintiques did as 17" and was curious what those with '70s and 17" were running for tires? also any pictures?

Thanks,
Michael

Was that car lowered any?
Have 2" drop springs for my 71, and am trying to decide what tires will work.
