I just replaced all the tires on my 73 super and took it for its first drive today. I used the same size but the front right tire is rubbing bad on the spring. What sould I do?

you could have a different offset of wheel then the others. i would try one from the back of the car on the front 1st and see if it fixes it.

You could turn the rims backwards and give yourself a 0" back space. Laughing

Might look kinda weird though.
