Default 67- Magnum 500's. What size? Pics please.

I have a 67 289 coupe and want to change to the Magnum 500's. What size works best? 14x7, 15x7, or 15x8? And what size tires with each? I've seen several pics of them, but can't nail down the sizes. Some pics would be appreciated and possibly which supplier is best to work with.

I would go with a 15 inch wheel because there are many more tire options for them than a 14 inch. 8 wide looks pretty nice. i have 14x8 on the back with 235/60 tires. I wanted 245s but the tire shop didn't have them for 14inch wheels. I only have 14x6 on the front though so i am not sure what you would want up front.

I say 15x7 or 15x8 would look great.

It depends on the look your going for? The 15 x 7 all around would look good with some 225's or you could go with the staggered look with 15 x 7 (205's or 215's) on the front and the 15 x 8 (245's or 255's) on the back.
