I have a 1971 Javelin AMX and was wondering what the tire size max is for upfront as well as what wheel offset I should have. I'm thinking about running either 275/60/15 up front and 295/50/15 in the back... not sure if those 275s would fit without altering my fender or wheel well. Any thoughts?

I don't see how you're going run those big of tires and keep them in the wheel wells let alone keep them from rubbing. I had 235/60/15 on the front of mine with 4.5" backspacing and they hit when turning hard and going over a bump. I dropped to a 225/60 and it went away. I do know you can get a 10" wheel on the rear with a 4.5" bs.
