My filthy and in need of repaint '65 Corsa rag-top has 14x8 Olds 442 
rally wheels on it.    265r60 tires on back fit without rubbing but 
are pretty close.   235r60 tires in front are very close... need a 
slight trim of the front fender wheel well lip so as to not rub on 
"bumped" tight turns.    I did the "baseball bat roll" trick on the 
front wheel well lips to help out as well and *almost* could get by 
with that front lip area but not quite.    A slightly narrower tire 
would clear OK.    These sizes are about as wide as will readily fit 
without some interesting trickery.
