215/60 15 Front Tires?

Is anyone out there running or know someone who is running 215/60 15 tires on front with original 8" Camps? If so what and where are the rubbing issues if any? I suppose 215 is pushing the limit on tire width for 8" wheels.

I have read articles and discussed tire and wheel options with George P and am trying to find the best solution with original 8" and 10" wheels.

My fender lips have been rolled under and don't think that will be the issue area with the fender height on my car presently. It also appears in the static position there is plenty of room with existing 225/50 on front. I am not sure what happens with castor and uneven surface transition with a larger diameter tire though. I mention castor also because of some article that mentioned factory castor is not optimum for handling and should be changed. There is also concern for cornering tire roll due to higher sidewall.

I want matching tires and so far BFG TAs seem to be the best solution.

I appreciate the benefits of larger wheel diameters but want the original appearance if possible.

Thanks,
Bob
