Default opinions on 275/60/15 fronts with 235/70/15 rear wheels and tires

Has anyone had experience with this tire combination before? I saw the pics of this car and really like them. I will also upgrade to the 15 inch SS wheels to instead of the 14s. So what do you guys think?

I see you posted this question over on TC, did you happen to look at the thread called "show off your tires and wheels"? On pg 3, there's a red 69 that's running a 235/60-15 front and of course, lots of pics where guys are running 275/60-15 rears.

Yeah I noticed that but it won't let me edit the title. In fact I don't even really remember making this thread last night

You can edit the title, but you have to go to the advanced setting to do it. I finally had to do it not to long ago, so don't feel bad.

I like to run the same size on all 4 corners so I can rotate them .

Not the Chevelle, but here is my Camaro with that tire set up. Like Bill said, it looks better with the big tires in the back as the other way around would be a pain in the ass to steer. ha
