On 10 holes I would not use a tire bigger then a 245. Yes you can mount larger tires on a 7" wheel but IMO you start loosing performance/grip/traction with the over sized tires.
Will a 245 fit without any problem?
Yes, I don't have any pics handy though.
245/60 front and back?
245/60 would be awfully tall - particularly up front I would think that would be hard to fit. Maybe do the 245/60s in the rear and 225/60s up front?
Either way, there's not a ton of options in either size.
My dad has 225/60/15 and they rubbed with stock non LX springs (not sure if there is any difference from LX).
We put in 82 T-bird springs so it would no longer rub, they raised up the front almost well over 1/2 inch
(over the stock worn out one's). I'd think a 245/60 in the front will rub badly.
Pic with 225/60/15's. This was before new front springs and with new wagon springs out back.
The 225's were rubbing as it sits in this pics.
