68 wheels and tires
i am new to the site today. so this is my first post. i have a 68 327 convertible since it was new. it is pretty much original except i put power disk brakes on a few years ago. i (think i)am ready to replace the original wheels and caps with rally wheels. going from 14 inch originals to 15 rally . i was planing on 15" x 7" with G70-15 firestone redlines . any opinions..one way or the other thanks ! jim

68 wheels and tires update
i was on the phone with the tech dept at classic industries, ready to order, and they advised me to double check for clearance.... i thought i would have plenty of room with the 15x7 rally and the g70x15 redlines.... is there some risk that these wheels and tires are too wide or too big ? .... if so is there a safer solution ?

Oh, and if you're ordering from them, take note that it may be a long time before the wheels get to you, depending on how close you live to california.
