    I'd run 15"s all around. I like the look, I think it would be more period correct, and I think if you put a 16" wheel on the front with a proportionately sized tire it's going to be taller than with a 15" wheel and proportionate sized tire, which will make the front end sit higher.

    You have a very nice car, finished at a level that many are trying to get to for paint and body. Its an older build and youre redoing a few things to knock the 80's/ 90's off of it. "Removing the gold chain"

    So....dont take any shit from anyone.

    Get it set up the way you want and drive it, make some changes that suit you. Stance is key and youre asking the right questions.

    Perfect sizing (too me anyway ) in post 39 above.
    If you want 15” all round, 820 x 15” tyres give same overall diameter as 700 x 16”
