I have a Mark I with the original 4-lug FFR Halibrands. My last tire refresh was 5 years ago when I could still get white letter BFGs in a 235 60 R15 up front and 275 50 R15 out back. After searching around for a couple of days I'm coming up with no choices for a matching set of 4. I did find a 295 50 R15 from MT and others, but I've read threads that have me concerned about the tires rubbing on the inside of my fenders, so I'm not inclined to go that way, and the cost of upgrading the car to 17s would be huge. What do I do? Has anyone successfully put 295s on the rears without any problems? If I go to drag radials (no white letters unfortunately) will I be plagued with more frequent tire replacements and pummeling my rear fenders with chips? Your helpful info is greatly appreciated.
