Default Cragars?

I had to move cars around today and took a photo while Camaro was outside. I put Cragars on it and find that 7.10-15 on the front don't come close to fitting. Anyone know what size tire that will work on the front? The Cragars are 4" wide I believe. Thanks

I bought the 5.60.15 Firestone Pie Crust for just that reason. They are 25.79 in diameter when many of the others are up in the 28 ranges and worried they would rub.

Here's a link to the smaller Firestone's

Fronts are Moroso 7.10-15 and are about 27" tall. They rub really bad when I turn. I think I have to drop to something around 26" tall

If you were closer I'd probably trade my Pro Trac tires for them. I think mine are too short for my car, so I took them off. I like a taller tire, but if they rub on yours then that's no good.
