Default wheel/tire help needed.

Hey guys,

Need some advice for new wheels/tires. I really like the looks of the American Racing TT2's. Here are the wheel/tire sizes I have gathered from other posts.

Rear wheels: 17x11
Rear Tires: 315x35
Front Wheels: 17x9.5
Front Tires: 275x40

Here is some information on the car in question. Stock 10 bolt, Moser axles, air bags in the rear springs. I am concerned that 315/35 is going to look goofy in the rear wheel wells. Low profile, not tall, but a real slender tire. Is there a comparable tire that will fill the wheel wells better than the 315/35 without compromising performance? I'm not against the idea of moving to a slimmer rim to accommodate for a taller/higher profile tire.

Posting photos would be a great help too!

Thanks for the time,
-Dan

PS-sorry for the basic questions, I'm a vintage muscle car guy.
