My '70 GP has 245/45-18 front and 275/40-18 rear. Both are 26.7" tall (245/60-16 is 26.6"). The car rides, handles, and brakes like a dream. Literally, the ride is less harsh and more quiet plus the car can actually handle and brake with reasonable performance.
Do yourself a favor, step up to 18" wheels and into the future with contemporary tech tires. You will not regret it.
