There was a guy who put 17's on his 68 with RAII heads and complete suspension upgrades. It was in HPP a few years ago, maybe longer. I have the magazine, and will forward the year and month so you can look it up online.
Yes, the quality of the ride will decrease, but with wheel and tire mods, I would highly suggest a complimentary upgrade of the shocks, sway bars, bushings.
The article will point you in a good direction as to what worked for him.
