I had a pair of 8.5's w/ 275/60's 0n the back of my 67 for awhile , they were tight but the fit and looked Killer ! and to be honest they fit better 0n the 8.5's because the stretched & squared off the side wall more than the 15x7's i currently have in it now , i seems the narrower rim actually bulges the side wall more which results in occasional rubbing ,mostly on the back side above the top shock mount . But every cars varies . I have multi leaf spring & OEM style NAPA shocks

Thanks for the input. I really do not want them sticking out of the wheel well to far and I think that is going to be the issue with the minimal backspace these TTO' s have.

If they have an 8" with 3.75-4" backspace, you will be good. Here are a couple pics of my 8" wheels with 255/60x15 Coopers. Sidewalls are straight with the 8" and a 255 fills a wheel well nicely. No pics of them on my Camaro.
