I have successfully used the 195/5015 tires on front and rear of a 69 and 70 square. The front just rubbed on the inside of the fenderwell at full lock. The 165's did as well btw. Car was lowered 2 nothces. Rear rubbed a little untill I rolled the fender lip using the ball bat method. Rear was not lowered. At one point I actually put a 205 50 15 on a stock rim and used it for a while. it didn't run but the sidewalls were sure under some strain. When I went to dismount it it was a major PITA.
