On an XB I used to own with 295x60x15 rear and 245x60x15 front

On my second Landau with 275x60x15 rear (295's rubbed on cornering) and 235x50x15 front 245'sx60's rubbed on firewall.

And finally the wheels back on the car they were bought for you can see on the side wall where the tyre (still the 275x60x15) had been hitting on the guard on the brown Landau and yet there is plenty of space under the guards on this one
Looks like you were carring a bit of camber on the XB mate.....

....or is that just the photo....
