The big problem you have is wheel offset. With the right set of wheels (custom offset) you can fit an L-60 or 275/60 size tire. Much beyond that would be test fitting and careful measurement. Make sure that you keep the tread width as close as possible to the rim width. Don't put a 10" wide tire in a 7" rim just 'cause it fits. You'll end up with a small footprint and it won't work right. When measuring don't forget that the sidewall will widen when inflated and also be wider as the wheel size increases. We ran my buddys 69 Coronet R/T on 26" tall 6" wide slicks and ran 12:80's at 110 with no tire spin, so remember bigger is not always better. It just LOOKS that way!
