My 255's in the rear don't rub so you should be ok in rear. I removed the bolt at 12 o'clock on the side that was rubbing and problem solved. I have the button bolts just haven't put them in yet. Drove the car again yesterday with no issues.
Here's a curveball, my buddy pulls up to my house Saturday in his 69 with brand new wheels like ours. He went with new F60 Firestone Wide Oval Radials in the front and rear. We drove around in his car about 90 miles on Saturday and he had zero rubbing, we could not even make them rub. He has all the factory bolts in his fenders as well. These cars must all vary that much! From what I understand the F60 is about the equivalent to a 235/60. Not only do they not rub but they looks absolutely incredible.

Cool. I think ride height is going to be a player that varies from one to the next. We ran some errands yesterday after I installed the button heads at 12 o'clock and heard no further rubbing from the front tires.

Would love to see a picture... I'll bet those wheels and tires look great together.
