No, but I run 255/60's on all fours. The front tires rub very little on the 1.25" T/A stabilizer bar using 15x7 Pontiac Rally II's. With 275's, I would imagine clearance issue would arise.

I run 265/50-16's on all four corners. They are mounted on 16x8 American Racing wheels with neutral offset (4.5" backspacing). They don't rub at all. Take a look at the link in my sig line.

That is the best looking GA I have ever seen.

Nice job.

Thanks guys. I don't have any pics yet, but I now have a NACA duct hood on it. I got it several years ago at a wrecking yard that was closing out. Got it for $35, knowing that someday I would have a Grand Am to put it on. A friend of mine put nice black paint on it and it looks really good.

fullsize, those wheels are going to look nice on your car. Pretty good price for chromed versions as well.

I have the 275/60R15's all the way around, looks great and handles great. The speedo is a little off though.

Also have them mounted on 15 x 7 honeycombs - looks excellent and does not rub.

Terry:

Do the tires wear evenly?

So far so good. I just recently (last weekend) put the honeycombs on. Before I was running 225's on the front, until I could change the control arm bushings and stuff. So I have not had the big tires on for very long. Love the look though.

I ran them on my 77 GP. On 15x8 Cragars. Tire store said they wouldn't fit but I proved them wrong. They wore evenly I thought. I still have them but now they are on my wifes 71 Impala.
