Be careful about wider tires on the rear of a 55 with stock width axle. You may have to loosen shocks or let the air out of tires to get them installed/removed.

The main issue is the distance between brake drum and fender when trying to install & remove the tire & wheel. On my 55 with stock rear springs, a 225 tire is easy to install; a 235 tire not so easy.
