I fit 275/60/15's and 10" slicks under my old 67 GTX. It is a TIGHT fit and you have to roll the wheel lip but they fit. On 66-67's to get more meat you would have to mini-tub.

i think the 275/60 15's are around 11" x 28", and fit well. that's without any mods to the wheel well or fender lip.

Just finished the fab work on my 67 B body. Easily fit 315/60/15 with close to 2" more room also using the leaf relocation kit. Some pictures are posted here: 67 Build Thread

I used the US Car Tool relocation kit, but didn't see a need for the mini tub kit. YMMV

first tub cut out, man there is a tone of room hiding back there. by the way that's just surface rust I the trunk, really solid.
Looks like there will be 3 1/2 inch spacer welded back in
