So, I've been thinking about Changing them out for a set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A'S, Thinking maybe a 235/60R15 all around. Post up some pictures of what you fellow 71-72 Body guys are running.

A big car with a big wheel opening needs a big tire to fill it out, IMO. Can you use the 275/60-15 on the front or does it rub. I like to run the same size front and rear and wonder how large I can go.
