Thinking about getting new rims for my 73L. 17x8 /18x10. Need some help on tire size. What to fill the wheel well without rubbing anything. Thanks

Get the smallest outside diameter front rubber you can find. This means no more than 17 inch weels up front.
The car hardley tollerate much more than 5 inch of front ground setting, and better still, I prefere 4 inches. Look out so the front tire and wheel does not wheight in at more than 60 pounds.
This is important if road holding is of concern for you.

A 245-50 size is the widest practical tire that fits without flairing the front fenders. And even this relatively small tire (compared to Corvettes and Vipers) will need some mallet-work on the inner fender panels at full lock, and absolutely will need the outer fender-bead rolled.
