I have a 73 Challenger and have Cragar SS 15X8 on the back with 4.25 backspacing.Im running 255x60xR15 BFG T/A tires. I can get my finger between the wheel and the lip of the quarter panel. The tire is only about a half inch off of the leaf spring. I measured and re measured the clearance. You may be able to get a 275x60 tire on without rubbing, but I was scared to try because I mail ordered  my wheels from summit.I have seen 295X60's on challengers before but the lip on the quarter panel had been cut and rolled.
