I put BFG's on mine and love them. The price was right and I got them at discount tires.

The shot makes the wheel well look too open. The suspension was new and the angle of the shot was a little off. The car's settled down now and the 245-60-15's fill the wheel well very nicely.

The 255's may fit fine on your 75 but for my 71 I needed a little room.

Good luck.

When I purchased my '75, it had Kelley 245-60-15's, but they needed replacing to pass inspection. I purchased 245-60-15 BFG's. Love 'em. Before I purchased the tires, I was told by a long time C3 owner the the 255's were ok on the car, but if a fifth one was purcahsed for the spare, it would not fit in the carrier. 245's were the max for the spare. Anyone else heard of this? I don't want to pass on bogus info, but it sounded reasonable.
