275/60/15 work on an 85 Cutlass?

[Dknapp10]

Hi I'm new to this so please don't run me off! I'm putting some 1980 z28 N90 wheels on my 85 Cutlass I have heard that it is possible and impossible to put 275/60/15's in the back without something rubbing, the wheel size is 15x7 I believe with 4.25 BS. Any info helps out greatly and pics DON'T exactly make it worse either. This is all stock in the back as well. Thanks!

That's what I'm running with a 15"x7" rim. I bent the lip on the inner fender up a little, it only rubs on big bumps with a loaded trunk or backseat.

Awesome thanks for the help!

My GN has 275/60-15 rear tires as well on factory 7" wide '84 GN rims. Just like Kwik's, the tires will rub a little on the inner portion of fender lip on decent bumps.

65 - 75 should rub but if a 60 rubs something is wrong w/ your suspension such as shocks sagging / bad springs/ bearings. W/ everything lined up stock a 60 should not be rubbing at all or your suspension is really bad.
