The 275/60/15s fit, tight but "fit". Figured these would square it up nicely. When I put new skins on the 18s they will be 275 wide.

I'd have gone with 215/65s... but that's just me.

8.5" wide rims. I'm kinda commited to wider boots.

Colour me confused. I thought you were using thr factory T-type wheels? Or are those Vectors/American Racing repops?

I had 225/60-15s on 15x8.5 10th Anniversary/Turbo T/A wheels when I had a 79 T/A; the 245/60s were the rears.....

I just went off of the suggested rim size on the BFG web site.

I think they should be good, what are you guys thinking for issues I might have? Did I overlook something?

OD and section width are going cause issues at full lock and under compression.

They sure did. Could have got them to work but would have rubbed the outer fender. 😡

275 rears sold, 245s going out back and I'll have to get 215s for the fronts.
