Hello all - I currently have 225/70R15s all around on my 1968 Impala SS coupe. I am thinking about putting on 245/60R15 for the fronts and 255/60R15 for the rears. These bigger tires are coming from my Corvette. Has anyone tried this? If so, any issues other than the speedometer will be off? Any info is appreciated.

I run 255-60-15 on front and 265-60-15 on rear mounted on 8 X 15 Corvette Rallyes with a neutral backspacing with no issues anywhere.

Your tires will work fine. The 255/60/15 are only 26" tall so they should not throw off your speedo.
