I use to race NHRA stock class, I've seen many early, pre 1970, A body with front tires and rims form 24 inch tall on 3.5 wide rims to those with 4.0 wide rims and 760x15 front tires(about 29.0 inches tall)
It is your car so you need to like what you get up work
If I was drag racing the car foot braking it I would go tall on the front tires twocents

Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
