Tire size help

[olddog67]

I put 15x8 wheels on all four corners with a 4" BS. They fit great IMO. The rears are 255/60/15 and fill the wheel well great, in the pics I have the 255/60's on front and rear to help me determine the size for the fronts.
I want to keep the side walls of the tire the same size but make the tread width about an inch narrower. Any thoughts on a size?

Not sure if your wells are big enough but 275/60 in the rear and move the 255's to the front. I have 4" backset on the rear wheels. 225/75 is the same height just a little skinnier if you have manual steering.

The 255's in the front are a bit too wide for my liking. I would just like to go a bit narrower in the front and keep the same side wall height.

I had scrubbing on my 68 Coronet with 255's - same wheel spec. Went to a 235 for the new wheels.

Thanks for the help fellas. I went with a 235/60 on the front and fits the wheel well nice.

FWIW, below is a website that I've found helpful. It gives graphics and numbers to compare wheels / rims...
