Hopefully this will help all who are looking for the largest front tires for 68-69's. I just got a set mounted on my 69 El Camino and even though i cant fit my fingers between the tires and the fenders they do not rub, and my front suspension is lowered 3in. I think these will also work for 70-72s since they share the same inner fenders. I hope this helps.

I ran 275/60's on my first '68 Malibu with NO problems at all, and I carried 3 people in the back on a few occassions.
