I have 4.75 on 15x8 wheels with 275/60r15 tires on my 68 GTO.

Have 4.25 BS with Hoosier 275 DR’s with the car lowered 2”. Real tight fit on the outside of the wheel well. 4.5 or even 5” would be a better fit.
The Hoosiers are about 1/2” shorter than MT 275’s so I don’t think those would fit unless the back of the car was lifted a little.
