2nd gen Bird tire question

[cpd004]

I'm looking for suggestions on tire sizes that will look right on my '79 T/A.
I have CL205's (the Torq Thrusts with the grey center) that are:
Front- 17 x 8 @ 4.5 Back spacing



Rear- 17 x 9.5 @ 5.5" Back spacing

Somthing proportionate with 'maybe' slightly more sidewall on back. Aslo, if anyone is running these same rim sizes, please post a pic and your tire size.

Rear: 17x9.5 5.5 Back spacing Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 285 40zr17

It's kind of hard to tell, but roughly how much taller are the rears on your car? Also, what route did you go to lower it that much? Thanks.

I would love to see these on when you are done. These are the exact wheels I want for my 79!
