Will a 275x60 tire fit a 10" rim?
Can anyone tell me if I can install a 275 x 60 tire on a 10" wide rim? Any info is appreciated.
Thanks! |

I have 275 x 60 R15's on my Chevelle. They fit great and look great! I doubt you can see from my picture that I have on my website.

Yes, but Im running 275/40 18s on 10 inch wheels on the back of my 94. They look great. Same width, just lower profile sidewall.

That tire is really better suited to 8 inch rims. 295/60-15's would be better for a 10 inch .

I am running Toyo 60/285s in the back on 17x9 Cragar ss's. Had to adust the stops on the front with 60/255s on the same rims. My drop is 3.5 front and about 5 in rear. The 255s ride the 17x9 well too. Check with the tire people as MikeP may be right. Finally, DO NOT buy any rims until you are sure they fit the way you want. Remember to check rear inside clearance. have some fun.

You can run the 275/60s on anywhere from an 8 to 10" wheel. Mine are on 8" wheels. Looking at the tread width(8.8, if memory is with me), it would indicate that an 8.5 to 9" wheel would be optimum for the tire......crazyL
