I have a 74 and I believe the size I put on mine were 255/60R15 and I haven't had any problems.

I'm on my third set of 255/60-15's on my '76 stock rims.
No problem.

I have bfg 295-50-15 on the rears.I did have to grind the ebrake mount on the trailing arm but they fit and are huge without sticking out.

So are you able to still use the ebrake? 295 is pretty wide for this car right?
