I went with an 18x10 (and 5.5 BS) and a 305/45/18 tire in the rear. I had to roll the wheel well lips and message the inner wheel wells. No rubbing on either side now but it took some trial and error work.
I'm sure most 68-72 GM A bodies are close but I know even the 70 - 72 Olds 442s and Cutlass' are slightly different. Better to measure and then measure again...but I think "usually" a 295 in the rear and a 245 in the front (using 18x10 and 18x8 respecitively) is about as big as you can go without any mods. Going w/a 285/235 setup (or smaller) will just be that much safer.
Not sure if Pre 68 require less tire/rim or different BS but I did tons of research on the 68-72s before I got mine.
