When I bought my 57 GMC it had 6 lug 15x8 Rallys from a late 70's 
Chevy 4x4.  The tires were 255x70.  With a heavy load in the bed 
the outer surface of the rear tires made contact with the lip 
around the wheel cut-out of the fenders.  Changing to 235x75 tires 
reduced the width enough that it no longer makes contact while 
maintaining the original height of the tire.
