New wheels!

New wheels!
I went with Wheel Vintiques Series 52 (SSI) Wheels from Summit, Tires from Discount tires. Discount tire were excellent to work with. They had ordered a 15 x 10 wheel and mount a tire for testing purposes. Kudo's for them!
Fronts are 15 x 8 (4.5" BS) with 245/60's
Rears are 15 x 10 (5" BS) with 275/60's.
My axle is shifted to the passenger side a little. (close to .5 in).
the Driver's side has plenty of clearance. The passenger side just OK. I trimmed the inner wheel well trim to compensate.
I found out the hard way that my rear disc calipers were hitting the rim. I am using 1/4" spacers for now. I will grind down the calipers one of these days and remove the spacers.

it's raised some. I have airshocks. Once I finish grinding down the calipers and remove the wheel spacers, I'll drop a little. These tires are tall though! I thought about coil overs, but was not going to until I figured out what wheels and tires I wanted and how they fit. I'd hated to pay several hundred and then realized they would adjust high enough. Airshocks were $70.
Plus, I'm still old school and love the hot rodish look.
