Default Rear sagging on 65 Tempest

I’m inching closer and closer to driving my car but I’m concerned that the rear is sitting way too low right now. The front fender lip to ground at top of wheel arch is 26.25” and the rear is 24”. My 255/70R15 tires in the rear are barely clearing the inner fenders. Not sure how guys make 275’s work. (I have 235/70/15’s in the front)

My question is I can get standard AC Delco or Moog replacement spring for around $40 for the pair thru Rock Auto, or should I go with convertible (if they are different) or station wagon spring to get the rear up higher. I’d prefer a level stance, if not slightly higher in the rear (by maybe 1/2” - 3/4” higher in rear)

Thoughts?
