Default 79 tires

Can other owners of 1979 vettes please send me pictures of their tires.
I would like to replace my stock Eagle ST's 225 70 15 with either Dunlop Qualifier 245 60 15, Eagle GT2 235 70 15 or Eagle GT2 255 60 15
Would appreciate seeing at how they look on the car before i buy and any comments.
Thank you

I haven't taken pix of the '79 I just brought home yet, but as food for thought, it's got 265 50 15s on all four corners and there appears to be no clearance issuses; of course I haven't driven it yet, because it's not saftied/insured/licensed and I live too close to the local police station to go flying around the block a few times.
