17" Wheels on a 69 Dart with Stock Suspension

The engine is lightly modified. It is a 318 bottom end with forged, flat top pistons. It has a mild Mopar purple cam and 2.02 heads that came off of a later model 360. Aluminum intake and 4-barrel also. The compression is around 10:1. All that being said, I am not exactly a hot rodder. I know that the 7 1/4 rear can be a weak link. But I also know some guys still riding around with big blocks in front of theirs also. I am really looking for something that is going to look good and generally be functional. I know the rear end limits that option quite a bit, but a rear end swap is not in the cards right now. I certainly appreciate all of the thoughts on this topic.
