I bought a set of Moroso 7.10x15(27 1/4 hieght) and mounted them on a set of Centerline 4x15 rims with 2 1/8 rear offset and had to trim the front edges and remove two of the inner fender bolts bolts that hold the inner splash shields in the fenders Your call BTW, the front ride hieght plays a big factor on which ones fits and which ones don't Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I have 15x4 Welds with 2.25 back spacing and a 205/75R15(27.1in. tall) hit on the front edge of the fender by just a bit. A 205/70R15(26.3in. tall) fits fine. My car is fairly low in the front with only a few inches between the under-steering headers and the ground. I have the 70's on there for now but my go back to the taller tires when I get the ride height sorted out. First pic is the 26.3's second is 27.1's
