New wheels...new tires?

Guest

I know...yet another tire thread. I did a search, but couldn't find recommendations as to this issue...

I recently picked up a nice set of original Campi's from our good friend "A Hudson". Wheels are 8 x 15 fronts and 10 x 15 rears. The wheels came with a set of B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's, 215-60/15 front and 265-50/15 rears.

While the wheels were off for the swap, I removed the coil-over spacers and dropped the car 1". The tires now fill the wheel wells nicely, however...visually, the fronts seem a little "tall" (too much sidewall) in relation to the rears.

Would switching the fronts to a 205-55/15 or a 225-50/15 significantly change the amount of exposed sidewall or will I be increasing the wheelwell gap too much?

Will post pics soon.
