Oh, one last thing, I hate agreeing with Ebo (sorry Ebo), but he's probably right about holding on to your old rally wheels and trims if possible. I packed mine up in the mag boxes and stored them away. Its something that once in a while you may want to throw back on Depending on which car shows you decide to spend time at.
Best of Luck,

Tires are 265/50/15 that is what was on it when I got the car.
The old wheels look to be the original rally wheels. the trim rings are the stainless ones 3 of 4 are nearly perfect, one has a couple of dings in it. the center caps are all good ;chrome but the black paint needs to be redone, and the wheels well they badly need repaint, I was going to have them powder coated. but liked this option better.
I havent decided what to do with them yet, It seems Im collecting parts, I had a 77 that I sold when I got the 72 now i have left over parts that fit the 77. I should make a list of the stuff off the 77 and get rid of it all. a friend on mine has a big shop and open land he has about 7 corvettes all in parts. hoods front and rear clips cages, I keep telling him to sell it but it seems when we get this stuff we just hang on to it all.

well thank you very much for your service to us and our country.
my wife wanted to name our son Luke but since we have two daughters that would not have worked to well.
I have about about one year to go and ill have 30 years as a volunteer firefighter.
