As someone who lived his mis-spent youth in that era some of the wheels that were popular from about 65 to 70 included Cragar SSs, Keystones, American Torqe Thrust (I personally always prefered the ones with dark centers), and aluminum slots.
Of course stock wheels (body color or black) with baby moon or cop car style dog dish hub caps with or without thin trim rings were also in style.
The 15 X 8, 15 X 6 combnation is what I'm planning on running on my 64. 235/70/15s fit comfortably in the rear wheel wells. You could likely go a little bigger, but not much. Don't go overboard on the front tire width as too wide tends to rub the inner fender wells. Personally I'm looking at 215/75/15 or 225/75/15s for the front.
By the way I currently have a friends 63 1/2 Galaxie in the shop getting a rear end swap and disc brakes.

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
