looks about right. Mine are 225 60R 15" and I still have a gap. I'm usually thankful for it when I enter parking lot driveways in Utah. They seem to think everyone drives an SUV.

My 85 when new had at least 6 inches between the top of the tire and the fender....ridiculous! I have lowered it a bit....I am running 205/55-16s and 225/55-16 tires which are taller....The car is basically at the same height it was, but the tire gap is now about 3 inches...Much better...and I still have some suspension travel.

Decide on what you want you car to finally look like before you touch suspension. If your keeping same body decide on your stance.
Buy the desired wheels first then make car suit.
