Default Bigger Tires

What is the biggest size tire that can fit on the back of an 81? What are the outcomes from getting bigger tires in the back? I'm looking to go a lot bigger than the front. Anybody know of a good cheap tire that will work?? :steering:

BFG Radial TA 275/60R15...
This one fits the 15 x 8 wheels and should fit perfectly.. The emergency brake line might scratch the tire a bit.. but other than that - there shouldn't be a problem running those...

I ran P295 50's on the stock alloys for a while,and later changed to the Draglites(15x9) for a different look.
