Good news, the tire shop agreed to replace them with 235/70-15s. That’s what was on it before. Thanks for all your comments.
I think booberella mentioned that in post 11You need 60 series tires not 70.
275-60 will fit on that car with a stock 15 x 7 rim with 4.25" back space.
No...they were originally E70x14...but I know what you meanWell they originally had 235/70-15s so I’m just gonna go with those because that’s what my tire man recommended.
Those Coopers are the tire of choice around here for the oval track gang on the classes that have to run DOT approved shoes.

So with the 10.40 / 26 is that everything stock no spring relocation. If so what are the rim sizes and backspace and what size tires and are they sitting in your shop not being used I'll take them off your hands if so. Thank JeffYou spent quite a bit on truck tires... They are super hard, deep tread truck tires with a diameter of 28.95 inches? The width is remarkably appropriate at 10.40 section width.
You can make it work but next time do your HW. We all make mistakes in building. The car sits like a jacked up 4x4 pickup truck and I can't tell from that picture but it looks like the tires sit outside the quarter panel.
You need to space the rear back. That will take care of the height issue but I see several other problems going on as well. Wheel and tire fitment isn't hard, it just takes patience, time and thinking.
Here is a 10.40 section width / 26" tire under my car before I mini tubbed it.
