'71 Stingray Tire Conundrum
I am currently running 235/70/R15 Goodyear Eagle GT 2 w/factory wheels on my '71 Stingray LS5. I am thinking about going to a slightly wider rear tire, but I do not know what the best tire setup would be on the car w/o any modifications. I want to go with raised white lettering as well. What is the best setup in your opinions? Thank you for any help.

PO put 235/60/15 on my 71 LS5. To me they appear too small in the wheel well.
