Default New wheel and tire set up on my '78

Since I've bought my car I've only put about 200 miles on it because there's been this pretty serious vibration, we jacked the *** end up and could visibly see it shaking so I brought it to see if I could have them balanced or if the rims and tires were to far gone. They said the rims were so f'd up that they were bending the studs... lmao so I guess it's time for some new ones! It had 15x7 cragar ss's up front and 15x8s in the back. 215/65/15 in the front and 235/60/15 in the back.



I'm going to go with the american racing ar23 rim. Probably 15x7s all around this time just to keep costs down. ( I was told a few hundred bucks for 15x8s in the back with tires ).

I hate the way that the tires and rims tuck sooo far underneath the body of my car, and I've found some spacers as big as 1.5". Is there anything I would need to do special to put these on? any problems I may have? would I need new studs ( I'm replacing them now so should i get the bigger ones now and do the whole thing at once? Any help is appreciated!
