I have 15's on my 66. We lowered it and went from 14's to 15's. The lowering gave the car a better stance and better handling. With the 15's it gives it a better look with the wheels/tires now filling the fender well in stead of having a lot of dead space there. Keep your wheels and lower the car. You'll get a better result.

I'm old school and like 70 series tires on 14" wheels or 60 series on 15" wheels, just my humble opinion

Check out the ride height post at the top of the forum... that's how I found the look I liked. I am 215-65-15 x 7in.
