Of course, many have run tall/wide tires by running taller ride height rear springs or (gasp) air shocks.

Thanks OPH. That makes total sense. The LeMans currently has 245-60-R15's on it now, both back and front, with cheesy aftermarket wheels, and the car seems to have a slightly higher than stock stance. I wanted to go 245-60-15 BFG T/A on the 15X7 Formula rims (the BFG dimensions are very similar to G60-15, if I checked correctly). Now I'm worried that they might hit the wheel wells, especially if I put the car back to stock ride height.
