Default 15x8.5 Minilites for 69 Camaro - what size rear tire

Anyone know what tires will fit?

I bought a set of Shelby MiniLite wheels that are 15x8.5 in the rear - and I'd like to run a reasonable tire that will not look stupid.

Any advice?

Thanks

275 x 60 fits on an 8.5" rim and looks great IMHO

I put a 275 60 15 tire on 8.5 inch rims on back of my 69 Z. They looked great, but were sooooooo close to rubbing, i was afraid of the tire hitting the wheel well when cornering hard. Never even drove it. Sold the tires and installed 255 60R 15. Still look good, and no danger of rubbing.
Mine is the car on the left.
