I run those on my 68 Satellite . I use a 8"rim with 4 1/2"BS . 7"rim will be fine , yes a little more bulge . Good size tyre without looking oversize . Great with my 4.10s

Hi Moparts , update , I did get my new rear tires in from cooper in the 255-70-15 size , and they are perfect compared to the 275-60-15s i'm replacing . The next question is cooper changed the Font of the white letters VS the old tires . and the new tire letters look bigger and slightly slanted . Here we Go , New White letters out , or Black Side Walls out using American Racing Torque Thrusts Rims mounted on a dark green 1969 Coronet with black vinyl top ? Black walls out would be my choice as I'm not a fan of white letter tires on aftermarket wheels. However, I do prefer white letter tires on factory rally wheels.
