It will work on the GM wide factory wheels. It will look good on a stock ride height vehicle. Sorry no pics, but I had Firestone SS radials onan 87 2wd for years, 2 sets. Worked and looked great.

They work fine on a 10 inch rim but they tend to look ballooned out a little bit. I think they look best on an 8 inch rim.

325/50/15 is the perfect size for a 10 inch rim and the sidewall profile will look just like a 275/60/15 on an 8 inch rim, but you can only get them in drag radials.

this tire fits fine on a 10 inch rim. I'm running them on the back of my truck and there on widened factory wheels. my truck is lowered 6in the back and i think that it looks great.

The Silverado wheels were two widths, My 87 had the wider ones, guessing 10", assume they were part of the trailer towing package.

It depends on the tire. I have seen 275/60 BFG Radial TA's on a 10" rim and they looked good. Other tires looked really ballooned.

I opted to go with a 295/50 on my 10" rim just because I like the wheel to fall in line with the manufacturers specs for the tire.
