Do a generic search for 215/70R15 on the tire rack. Look at a handful of examples and click on "specs". Most will list a recommended wheel width range, and I believe that for this size the typical wheel width recommended range is 5.5-7.5", but the Sprint Classic is 5.5-7".
This tire is designed for vintage cars that typically had wheel widths of no more than 7". The 8" wide wheel that became standard on '69 Corvettes was probably the widest wheel of any production car on the planet at that time. It's perfect for a C2 with OE wheels, especially 6" KO's or Rallys.
The 215/70R15 will look a little "skinny" on a 8" wheel, but I believe it will provide better performance than any less expensive tire of the same size.
If you know of an experienced tire installer, talk to him and also contact the Vredestein US office, try to get a hold of someone who actually knows what they're talking about and discuss.
Take your time, do some homework and keep us informed.
