Actually my next question was going to be can I stay with current tire size on 15x8 wheels; didn't want to have to go to a wider tire to fit the 15x8 we are thinking of buying. Thanks.

Kansas123,
Here is the C-3 standard wheel and tire data. It may help.
1968 wheel width increased to 7" wide - the only year of the 7" wheel.
1968-1972 All Tires were F70x15, blackwall, whitewall, or white letter.
1969 wheel width increased to 8"
1973 Radial Tires introduced - GR70x15 became standard size.
1976 Aluminum wheels introduced as an option.
1978 first year "60 series" tires were made available.
1978 Tire size became metric P255/60R15 or P225/70R15
as we say in the South - DARE 'TIS.
