Lowering blocks

Installed 1 1/2" lowering blocks on the butt end of my 72 LWB.
It now sits level and looks (IMHO) pretty cool.
I have 2 235/60/15 tires which are shorter than what is on there now (I forget). What if I got a couple more and put those on? Or maybe something either narrower in the front or wider in the back?
They'd have to mount on my van take-off ralleys, which I think are 7" wide.
Thanks

225/60 or 215/60 on that size rim would look sweet

Showing my ignorance here, but are the sizes you mention wider/narrower or taller/shorter than the 235/60s?
Thanks

They would be shorter and a little narrower.

You can check out this site and play with the sizes. You can also see how far off your speedo will be.
