Your 215/65 fronts are 26" in diameter. The 275/60 rears are 28" in diameter. The 295/50s are 26.6" in diameter and only about 3/4" wider than the 275s. Yes they will fit, but won't fill the rear wheel wells as much as the 275s.

stock suspension?
I like the look of this set up !!! is that rear suspension stock? I was thinking of 255/60/15's on the rear of my 69, however if possible i'd like to go a little wider but I don't want any rubbing I had 295's way back when but used air shocks LOL.. I did put new moog cc501 cargo coils in, could I go to 275/60s?

As stated, be aware that you need a wider tire for 295-50s than you need for 255-60s.

i don’t want to jack up the back with the suspension just want to make sure the stance looks like the brown’69 in the post pic I added.

Joe,
I’m glad you said that because I was worried the 15x8 were too thin to support the tire size. I’m going to pass on the new tire size..thanks for your input.
