Default Increase rear tire/wheel size on 64 GTO

Good Morning.

I have a 64 (Stock) GTO except for tires/wheels. Right now I have 14x8's S/S Cragars with 245/60/14 BFG Tires on the rear. I would like to put 15 inch tires/wheels on the rear to fill up the wheel well's and get a better look/stance.

Has anyone out there done this and if so please let me know what size tire/wheel you used. Please keep in mind, that I want to stay with the S/S Cragar wheel and without modifying anything on the car.

Thanks to everyone who answers this posting and Have a GREAT DAY!

Will

This has been covered about a million times. Here's one thread:

You need a 15x8 wheel with 5" backspacing, and probably a 255/60/15 tire.
Summit racing can get you Cragar S/S with custom backspacing.
