Advice/Help for my 66 Belvedere II

Ok...I'm finally getting my 66 Belvedere II back next week. The paint and body was finished last year and the engine and transmission finally went in last month. The breaks are being finished this week and it should be drivable sometime next week.

I still have to finish the exhaust and I need to add new wheels and tires. The engine is a 383 and has been rebuilt from the block up. It's not built for the strip, but it should be nice and strong. It has a set ot TTI headers, but I haven't decided on what to do with the exhaust from the headers back. What would be the best exhaust solution for me? Any exhaust recommendations?

I'm also a little nervous about choosing wheels and tires. I was thinking about going with a 15 x 8 wheel in the front and a 16 x 8 in the rear. I'm not sure if this would cause any problems or if I have plenty or room to play with. What would be the best wheel size combo for a 66 Belvedere II?

Here's a picture of the car back from paint and body. I will try to snap a few more pictures when I actually get it back next week.

Thanks!
