Anyone doing this? If so, what size rim and backspacing? Thanks.

I had 255/60-14's on the front of my '71 Elky with no trouble. But I think they are just a lil bit smaller by like 1" heightwise due to it being a 60 series wrapped around a 14" wheel. So really only 1/2" diffence in wheel clearance on top. And I had tons of room still, the tires look small on there in fact.
