Default if you own or had 67 bird look here

hey im about to paint my car i have a 67 bird and i have p255/60/r15 all around for tire. the front tires rub against my fenders. i am afraid to paint my car and then drive it because i don't want the paint to be rubbed off by the tires.. can anyone please help me and tell me what they had on their 67 birds in the front?... need to get recommendations for buying new tires... maybe rims also.

if you want to see what the car looks like as of few weeks ago i have a video of me doing a walk around online and you can see what kind of shape the car is in also =]

a 15 x 8 wheel with 4-1/2" backspacing in 245/255 ratios in a 60-series tire will fit front and rear with a tight suspension if you're looking to go the same size all the way around. A 275/60/15 will fit the back with rolled quarter panel outer lips. Check your shocks/springs to see if they need replacing and your front wheels may not have enough backspacing thus the reason it is rubbing the fenders.

mines a 68, but its the same thing practically, I plan on running a 235 front and 255 rears, unless I can get some 275s back there, that would be sweet
