275/60/15's on a 72 Vista?
I apologize for the dumb question, but would they fit w/o modifications? I figure they'd rub on hard turns and bumps, but otherwise ok on a stock 72 Vista? What would be the least expensive way to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same size rear tire on my '68 442 with 15x8 repop SS3s & my buddy has them on his '70 W31 on 15x7 SS3s, there's plenty of room, they're not close to rubbing on anything. Our cars, including your vista, have some pretty large wheel wells!

I have that size on the rear with 255/60 on the front.
The rear wells are huge with lots of clearance, but my 255s rub on the fenderwell lips if I'm not careful when turning over uneven surfaces.
275s on the front would limit the amount you could turn the wheels without catching on the stainless trim around the fenderwells. If you need more turning power than 255s give, put in a larger sway bar. When I put in a 1.375" bar it gave a great improvement in cornering.
