I've always been a fan of the Radial T/A's from BFG if you are looking for the RWL look. I'm going to run 225 60 15's out front and 295 50 15's out back on stock style rallies from Stockton Wheel. They build rallies with custom widths and backspacing. If you like the staggered look, 225's out front are still 8.86 inches wide so you still have sufficient tread for braking, but still give you a narrower ol skool hot rod look. 275's are a popular size and a lot of people run them. They do fill the wheel wells nicely and have a tread width of 10.83 inches which gives you a good amount of contact. Just remember, pick what YOU like. When it comes down to it, you liking what you have is what really matters.
