I'm gonna try to cram 255/60-15's in the front of my 69' Camino. My car is lowered 3in in the front and i need to know how tall these tires are going to be before i shell out the cash. Thanks.

255/60-15's would be 27.1" tall - those are BFG T/A's according to the Tire Rack's Data.

Sorry - I have no idea if they'll fit or not - it'll depend on the wheel - backspacing or offset will dictate where the tire sits (in-board or out-board) and consequently whether they'll hit the wheel well or suspension components.

If all you need is tire diameter, check out the tire manufacturer's website, or a site like www.tirerack.com. (http://www.tirerack.com.) Plenty of useful data there.
