Thread: Tire help

Building a 32 five window American Graffiti car, I need some information on tire size. I have 15x5 wheels on the front and 15x8 on the rear. What size of tires should I run on front and rear? I'm also in search of some fiberglass fenders like the 32 had on it in the movie. Thanks!
