What 8 3/4 do you have,A body?,B body?, what rear brakes?, small or large bolt pattern,all this info is important on using 275/60-15 on the rear.

Should be no problems to run a set of 15x8 rims with 4 1/2 inch backspace and 275/60-15 tires. Thats what i ran on my '71 duster with big bolt axles and the large 10 inch brakes,had 1/2 inch clearance at least from sidewall to leaf spring. I have since moved up to 10 inch rims with 275/60-15 tires,tight fit.
