I think the tires you're looking at are too small.
I've got 235-60-15 (all 4 corners) on my 68 cutlass conv.
If I could do it over I'd go wider... at least on the back but likely on all 4 corners.
The 68 rear quarters are styled in such a way that they seem to make the tires look small.

245/60/15's are closest to factory G70x14" (225/70/14's) in height. 225/70/15" tires would be a little taller than a stock tire size.

Before I took the cragars off my car I had 275 60 15s on the rears and 225 60 14s on the front. Had to keep 130 pounds in the shocks to keep them from rubbing. Handled like $#!+. Thats why I bought the Firebird rims. I just wanted to have a smooth ride on low budjet. I want to get some 16 inch cragars to put on the car but they are rare and hard to find.
.I AM TALKING ABOUT MY TIRES. But soon will be 15 because I am converting to 4 wheel disc brakes all the way around on at least one of them.

245/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear. No Pictures yet, but sits real nice and plenty of room. 72 Cutlass. Ditched the air shocks and run kyb in the rear. Cheap but okay. Handles great. I couldn't stand the bouncing from the air shocks. Years ago, (many) I loved them
I also am running oversized sway bars.
