Scored On A Set of Cragar SS. What Tire size should fit??

I finally got my computer back up and running (nasty virus). My buddy purchased a 73 Caprice and it came with a set of Cragar ss 15x7 unilug bolt pattern. He is not interested in them so he is giving them to me. We cleaned them up and they look good! I put 1 rim on my Cutlass and they fit!!! Now that I know that they will fit, I need to know what tire size would work for my car before I purchase them. Im looking for a set of nice lettered tires to give the car that 60's 70's retro look.

Ive been polishing the Cragars for about 2 weeks now and they look good! Now Im looking for a set of tires. Ive been looking at a set of 235 60 15 BFG (raised white letter)all the way around. i HAVE 205 75 14 on now. My question is would thease tires look too small for my 64?? I dont want to purchase them if they are going to be small. Please let me know what tire size YOU think would be better.

I didnt get any feedback about this so I purchased them anyways. They look pretty good to me!! I have a little rubbing up front But I think I need new heavy duty springs and shocks all the way around. Im open for opinions!

That sounds kind of funny.
Car looks very nice. If you can find someone to take two off your hands 215/65/15 are just about the same exact height as the 235/60 and might take care of your rubbing problem.
