Yeah, neither of those tires should be any problem at all. I've routinely seen Cougars and Tbirds with 275/60 15's on the back, and on my car personally I put 255/60 15's on all four corners. The rear tires have plenty of real estate, but the fronts just barely rub the back corner of the wheel well when the wheels are turned just so and you go over a bump... nothing that a little bit of sheetmetal massaging won't fix, but still worth noting. This is because the front wheels are not centered in the front wheel wells on our cars. I wish I could figure out how to change that...
