The Bob Helm wheels arrived today, and they look great. I'll give the
outside a light sanding and paint them Wimbeldon white.

Before I pull the trigger on two new 225/15 whitewalls for the back, is
there any reason I shouldn't proceed?

I'm going for slightly more rear height, and lower RPM's on the
highway.

225/15 which (75, 70, 65, etc.)?  225x75x15 should be ok though pretty
tight.  I ran 225x75x15s on my '64 Avanti and found that the height made the
speedometer and odometer virtually dead accurate (1% error).

Sorry,

75 series!  I'd consider an 80 or 85 series if they were available.
