Thanks for all the input. Last night I got a new set of BFG TA 255/60/R15. They look good. Thanks for all the help.

Speaking of tires I have a 1970 with aftermarket Centerline wheels and I mounted 4 brand new 255-60-15 Dunlop GT Qualifires on the car to find out the offset of the Centerlines put the front tire too close to the fender and it rubbed a little I have two 245-60-15 tires coming to me in about 7 hours so I am going to throw the Vette up on the flat bed and take it down to the tire store and see if they fit. Unfortunately if they do not I will be going with a smaller tire all around.
