Would like to put a 30" tire on the rears. Would they fit?

Stock tub and leaf location. 15" rim 12" wide 5"BS.

maybe a 315-60-15

opinions?
 
If any car will take them a 71-2 will. 275X60X15 look small.

Easy enough to check height clearance yourself. Measure the tire height you have now, add half the difference and see if you have that much room to the front and rear of the opening.
I have a pair of 315 street radial pro's. That is a LOT of tire to get under anything with stock leaf location and tubs. Frankly, I bet they don't fit.
