  275's would be a stretch ...305's would fit the rim better but you probably will have clearance issues if the wheel wells are stock.

Have you considered stepping up to modern size rims? 17" or larger will give you a LOT of options.  Personally going 17"

Im running air shocks for now and the rear end is narrowed so I'm away from the leaf springs and the top of wheel well. They are about even with my fender though. Any suggestions now? I'm looking for a tire that will catch when I gun it but also has long treadlife.

Check out M/T Sportsman SR's, just ordered these for my '68 Charger  - http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/street.php?item=SportsmanSR

Hoosier has their Pro Street Radials and are a little bit more - http://hoosiertire.com/pdfs/prostr.pdf
