275/60/15 BFG tires on a 15x8 wheel. My back spacing might not be the same as yours since my rear end was narrowed 3/4" per side from a stock 67' GTO width. It does fit well and hardly ever rubs. I had to give the rear inside lower corners of the wheel wells that mates to the trunk a little tap tap taparoo with a 2 lb hammer because the literally stuck out like razor blades. I was hammering corners yesterday and they didn't rub.

Maybe 66 and 67 have different wheel wells? I have an inch to the frame on the inside and probably a half inch or more to the outside wheel well before contact.
