'69 442 Tire Size Question?

I am planninng on running 275/60-15 tires on 15x10 w/ 5.25" b.s. wheels in the rear. I know they will fit. My question is.....Does anyone know if 255/60-15 tires on 15x8 w/ 4.5" b.s. wheels will fit in the front? Thanks in advance for any input!

I can confirm that BFG 255/60-15 fit on the front of my H/O when using the stock SSII 15x7 wheels. I get a very minor rubbing when I hit a bump at full steering lock, such as crossing the dip at the end of a driveway. The wider wheels will make the tire cross section slightly wider as well, which may make the rubbing slightly greater.
