height or width, or both, how high are you going to the front end up?

I'm running 235/60 15 up front.

I'm sure others have gone larger but I know this doesn't rub on mine.

There's another posting for tire sizes for 71 b-bodies, here's a link to the other thread Wheels for 71 B-Body the fit will be the same for your car.

tall and wide. I'd like to run the same size on all four corners, but the fender wells on the back are big.

i think 245/60r15 is the biggest that you would want to go with, the 235/60 is probally the better option

I'd like to find a picture of someone running those on all 4corners so i'd have a better visual.
Thanks for all the input guys

I was running American Racing 200S's on my '72 RR until recently (the car's apart now for resto.) 15x8's (unknown backspacing, and I'm not at home now to measure them) with 245/50-15 BFG Comp TAs. Same size on all four corners. The fronts did not rub at all, although they were very close to the lower rear of the front fenders. The rears fit easily, but they didn't really fill the wheel wells to my satisfaction. The replacements will be 17x8s in front with 245/45-17s and rears are TBD, but most likely 17x9.5s with 275-295/40-45s. Whatever gives just a slightly taller sidewall than the fronts.

Good luck in your quest. Sorry no pics.
