Will a 265-60-15 fit on an 81 vette without issue?

This was the optional size, and the size I have on mine, fits fine.

This is what you want. They are the tires that were put on the 82 from the factory. Anything larger you may have problems in the front with the tire rubbing on the lower rear opening of the wheel well depending on your alignment setup.
