Anyone tried 255-60-15's on the rear. Not planning on moving springs but I do have to build tubs. I currently have 265-35-18's on the back just hate the lo-pro look of the tires.
 
I have a 67 valiant with 255/60/15's on a 15x7 with 4" backspace and still have about a 1/4 to the in and outside of the stock wells and SS springs.

I have 255/60/15 drag radials on the back of my 68 dart with 15 x 7 with 4.5" backspacing on mine.
 
My Dart has 255/60-15 on it with no problem. My advice is proceed with caution and take measurements or compare them to what's on your car. The wheels/tires fit my car with about 3/4" clearance between the fender lip and the springs. A friend tried mocking my wheels and tires up on his Dart and they wouldn't come close to fitting. Both cars are '69 Darts.

The wheels mounted on my car.
