My research was indicating that a 255/60-15 was probably the biggest 60 series tire that fit in the rear based on a 27 inch diameter. The 275/60 tire is shown as about 28 inches in diameter - thus my question for Bob. The 255 tire would probably give me more room for undercar exhaust too, with a 10.2 inch section width - but by the time they are stretched out on 9.5 inch KO wheels some of that will disappear. What wheels your running on your car if you don't mind my asking?

The 235/60-15 look to be the best match for the front.

Tried to open up your Avatar in a new screen for an enlarged view of your car - but no luck??

Thanks

Dan
