Using 15x7 cop car rims on my car (using '70 Rallye centers and trim rings).
I was thinking 245/60/15 fronts and 255/60/15 rears.
The car will be about 1.5" lower than stock.
Anyone?

Go 225 or 235/70 on the front. I just mounted up some 245/60's on my 69 GTX front and not real keen with it. For the rear, go for the 275/60's.

I once tried mounting a 235-70-15 on a 15x7 rally on my 70 Road Runner and it was too big in diameter and rubbed the fender at the front of the wheel opening. Do you think a 235-70-15 would fit without rubbing if maybe a 6" wide wheel or a 15x7 wheel with different rear backspacing than that of a factory rally were used?

Would a 275/60 even fit properly on a 10" rim? 10" is a wide rim and a 275/60 isn't that wide of a tire. I've run 275/60's on a 7" rim for years. No problems, no weird tread wear, get a clean patch of rubber when I
i run them on a 10" rim, no problems. only issue is that i can't get a 295 under there, as the 10" rim balloons out the sidewall. it doesn't look bad, and isn't noticeable, but it is out far enough on the 10" rim that a 295 won't go.
i recently ran into a 70 with 275/60's on an 8" rim, and the difference in room under there was amazing. i'm going to go with a 295/55 on an 8" rim, and that should get me the extra tire under there.

what about a 255/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear? That's about a 27.5" front and near 28" rear I think...
