71' Chevelle. Torq-Thrust II's in 15x8's (cant get 8.5's in this series) with 275-60 BF Goods. Would those fit? So far it's one of my top choices.

Not with the standard 3.75" backspacing they won't. I tried it. I ended up getting custom 4.5" backspacing and they fit great on my 72. Same BFG T/A 275-60 tires as you are considering.

FYI, I have new springs, stock ride height.

Thats JUST what I needed to know! Thanks, Im about to order them. Are you saying they cleared 4.5" Backspacing on the 8" or the 8.5's?
