Will 245/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear fit a 1966 chevelle? Anybody out there running this combo? Any clearance/rubbing issues.
Thanks,

I am running Weld Wheels 7x15(3.5 B/S) with TA 235 60 15's up front and 8x15(4.5 B/S) with TA
275 60 15's in the rear. Plenty of clearance in the rear(3/4 inch). I don't think I would go any bigger that 235's in front, but thats only my opinion. Car has a very nice stance the way I lowered it and the rear tires tuck in the fender nicely. It is a 66 SS 396 Chevelle.

I run 265/50-15 up front and 295/50-15 in back...

No cutting, no rolled lips, and used to be extremely lowered (~4 inches)... Some very minor rubbing up front at full-lock (when it was much lower)... Now riding on Hotchkis front springs (1-inch lowered?) and no problems...

Rear is tight but clears...

You should be okay, but be sure to double-check backspacing, etc...

some pictures in my sig...
