Default ERA tire sizes and alignment specs

What is a good size tire combo to run on my ERA 002. It has the three piece halibrand look alikes. They are centerline wheels underneath. My ERA manual recomends 265x50x15 in the front and 295x50x15 in the back. Peter at ERA suggested 235x60x15 for the front. What brand tires do you like for the Cobra? I also need some specs to get me in the right ballpark on the alignment.
You may have read my recent post about the crooked ERA 002. I spoke with Peter at ERA. He said it would be almost impossible to get the body mounted on the chassis that far out of wack. Sitting in the drivers seat it looks like the body should be rotated about 1/2 inch clockwise on the frame. He said to check for a bad wheel. Nothing wrong with the wheels, but the drivers side front fender is about 1/2 wider than the passenger side. The back fender flares vary greatly from side to side. I understand the mold for the body was pulled off an origional, but I just have never heard of an ERA being this far off. The car needs a repaint, and my father is pushing to have the fiberglass "fixed" to try to true things up. Sounds like a bad idea to me. Any opinions?
