I am running 245-60R15's (Radial T/A's) on the front and 275-60R15's on the back of my truck. Early Classic Enterprises has pix on their website of the size you mention on their project trucks. You'll be okay with this size.

Forgot to mention that I am running 15x8's on the front and 15x10's on the back. ECE mounted their tires on 15x8 rallye wheels. It's on their website.

I Just Purchased A Set Of Toyo Proxes S/T's For My '72 Today. Holy Hell, These Things Are Smoking. I 'm Running A Set Of Vintage 15x8.5 American Racing Vectors ( Dukes Of Hazzard Wheels ) With the Toyo 275-60-15's. That May Be A Little Too Wide For 7 Inch Rims But For My Vote These Tires Are Soooooo Sweet. I'll Post A Pic Tomorrow.
