On my old 68 Camaro I had 245/50/16's up front on 16x8 (with 4.5" backspacing I think) and I think they would just barely rub at full turn. I ran 255/50/16's in the back without any problems. On my first car, a 69 Camaro conv I ran 235/60/14's on 14x6 Rally wheels. They would just rub a little at full turn. The wider tires will really help the car handle a lot better. I've run 215/65/15's as well and they fit with no problems.
