A friend had them on all four corners of a '70 Barracuda (they look small there also), they're still on the front but he went with 275/60/15s on the rear. 7720510-70bcuda255-50-15s.jpg (62 downloads)

Just stuck some 215/75s on 15X7" rallyes on the front as I needed to use them up, but the 275/60/15s on 10" rallyes look awesome and IMHO needed to fill the wells on these cars to look right, take a look at my stupid FB page for a photo or two... Regards, Bear I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"

In a previous post,I waffled heavily on 295s on 10" rallyes, and they just looked too short.Personal thing, but the car is kind of massive back there and needed a fairly tall AND wide tire to please my rum-soaked eye :-) Bear
