27" tall front tire on a 67 Barracuda?

That would be real tight I put a 205-70-15 on front of my duster and it was real close to fender edge when turning. about 25.5 is as big as I would go.
the 205 is 26.3"
the 215 is 25.2"

Shouldn't the 215 be the taller one (if they are both the same series tire)?
