Well you own it now so feel free to get it exactly the way you want it. Richard Oben at North Racecars can help you with wheels if you decide to change to Halibrand style wheels in either 15" or 17". He has wheels with the correct backspacing for big tires. Your car looks like it sits pretty good just as it is, why do you want to raise it? If you stick with 17" wheels you have to be careful because if you raise it too much for ground clearance the gap between the fender opening and the tire gets too big and looks weird. With 15" wheels 4" front and 4½" rear ride height is recommended. The 17" guys go a bit less because of the gap but not more than about ¼ - ½".
