Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Black_Sheep 's fronts 235/70R-15 on 15x7 wheels rears 295/65R-15 on 15x10 wheels  But I think the rear is a little high to make this fit with this tire. That is if this is still the same tire below.

Dang that's a bad@$$ car. I like the rake... Do you have a side pick of that car?

So 15x10 with 5.5 BS fits with out mods on a 68-70 B-body?
I put new springs on my coronet and now the 255's on cop rims look small. Was thinking of putting them up front and getting some bigger tires/rims for the back.
I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

For the most part I have seen them fit but I also hear some people have rubbing and needed 1/8 spacers on one side or the other. Other than tire width, I can only assume it is due to:
Tire height (not everyone likes the stink bug look) and Ma Mopars' tolerances back then.
This one rubbed with passengers and when turning but I believe it was actually a tad larger than 295/60-R15 or their own version of that size. It was with 15X10 with 5.5 inch backspace though.

What size are those on the (green?) above car with the Hoosiers? 10"/5.5 bs?

I think he said it was 315? but it was a while ago and I forgot to write it down. It was on BK's forum before the 'Change' and the forum has not been the same since then.
Actually I think there wasn't a metric size to them. So they may be bias plys

P295/60D-15
P295/50D-15
P325/50D-15
28x11.50-15LT
28x13.50-15LT
28x14.50-15LT
29x11.50-15LT
29x13.50-15LT
29x14.50-15LT

On their site they show a 275/60 (I run this on an 8" now, and know I wouldn't like it on a 10"), a 275/50, and a 295/65... so of the three, only the 295/65 sounds like it will work for me.
I've got a pair of new 295/65 in my garage that I used for test fitting on my 64 Dodge. PM if you decide you want that size, we might be able to work something out. BFG discontinued that size a year or two ago.
