I put a 275 60 15 tire on 8.5 inch rims on back of my 69 Z. They looked great, but were sooooooo close to rubbing, i was afraid of the tire hitting the wheel well when cornering hard. Never even drove it. Sold the tires and installed 255 60R 15. Still look good, and no danger of rubbing.
Mine is the car on the left.
