Does anyone have pictures of their 67 or 68 with the following combo? Or thoughts on if it will fit or not? I'm thinking about putting this combo on my '67 fastback that has stock rear drums (2") with standard eye 5 leaf packs (possibly lowering 1" later with blocks) and stock front discs with 1" dropped 620 coils:255_60/15 on 15X8 (4.5" bs) rear
225_60/15 on 15X7 (4.25" bs) front Wanna run Magnum 500s and want all rubber to tuck in behind the fenders. Since this'll cost around $1k I wanna get all your input cause I can't afford any mistakes! 
Thanks!

Yes you can, I have 295X50's on 15X7's in the back with NO problem. DO NOT go bigger than a 225/60 15's on front, unless you want rubbing.------------------

Thanks! Are the 225_60s even getting too close? Should I go with 215s instead? I'd really like to see how it all looks... Any pictures?

I do know that they rubbed every time I went to full turn, 225/60's, so you might want to think 215's BUT, I'm not real sure what my B/S is on my wheels. They are A R, but I just bought them and put them on. I have 245X60 on the same rim, and had to do some rolling of the fender. My alignment is totally off, because I have only did the pass side. Got to get another diposable disc camera to update my photo's, and then figure out how to post them here, without starting my page. ------------------
