Will 275/60/15 tires on 15/8 magnum wheels fit on the rear of a 68 b-body with stock suspension without any interference, clearance problems or bottoming out?
Had that size tire on my 68 Charger. Plenty o' room.

Largest you can go on the front with guarenteed no problems is 15x7 with 4" backspace and 235x60x15 tires.
Some are running larger, but some have problems with anything larger.

A big bluky tire up front would look funny. I use 215/75/15's or a 225/70/15 up front and 275/60/15's out back.
