I just think a 275/60 will stick outside the fenders on a lowered truck, and cause rubbing issues. On a stock height truck they will be fine. Remember. The front "track width" on these trucks is wider than the rear track width.
My personal preference is a 7" or 8" wheel up front and a 9.5" or 10" wheel in the rear. It compensates for the different track width. (just my opinion)

Have you run this setup and had issues? I'm just going by LEEVON who is running 275/60's on 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing and says he has no issues. I just don't want to buy any wheels and find out they don't fit, so that is why I'm looking for anyone who has run this setup.
