Gorgeous. Well done. Isn't it refreshing to see the fender arches "filled" with 25" & 27" tires the way they were meant to be?
Your tire options for the foreseeable future shall be modern tires available in several choices of matched front/rear sets of V rated (or better) passenger car tires. You'll have none of the tire purchasing issues faced by others. Some of the benefits of the 285 rear tire (in comparison to a 335 rear tire) include lower unsprung weight, better acceleration and improved fuel economy.
The spacing between the sidewalls and fender edges look fairly even front to back, and the gaps between tires and fender arches also look fairly even front to back. I really like the way the rear tire is centered between the muffler and the fender's edge.
We need a straight on side view. This will let everyone see the relative sidewall height front to back of the 17/18 combo.
