I haven't done it recently, but I ran 15 x 8" Cragar SS mags and 275/60-15's on the back of my A66 70 Challenger. The only suspension change I made was adding air shocks because the car was a tail dragger. This was early 80's time frame. I only pumped the shocks up enough to level the car, and I didn't ever keep it at stink bug stance...lol. There was plenty of clearance between the tires and springs. Sometimes, if I hit a pot hole or bump real hard, the outer top edge of the tire on the drivers side would rub the inside of the outer wheelhouse where it starts bowing in. But only if I hit a hard bump. I had 275/60-15's on 15 x 8 Torque Thrusts on the back of a 71 Challenger several years ago. No suspension mods, no air shocks...and they never rubbed. I have 275/60-15's on the back of my 71 Challenger convertible on 15 x 7 factory Rallye wheels. The only time they have ever rubbed was when 2 heavy duty beauties at a car show wanted to ride in the back seat around the car show grounds where I went to a show. I have since learned that NO is a complete sentence!
