Default tires

i have six tires that are new, so i was wondering what would be the right combo for my 73, the tires are 245 60s 255 60s and 275 60s . i was thinking that the 275 should fit on the rear and maybe the 255s would go on the front without rubbing, but if not i know the 245s will work on the front, and hopefully the 275s wont rub on the back , any thoughts if this will work

I have 245/60/15 in front and 275/60/15 in rear. No problem in front, had to remove e-brake cable bracket for rears. I may have to give it a "lift" cause it's darn close to rubbing on the fenders when the car squats. No marks yet though.

Hey guys,

I have 255-60 Comp TA's on my car. The fronts hit lightly sometimes at full lock. The way the car handles is worth the light hit.
