hey whats up everyone, dumb question here, does a 275/60/15 tire fit a 10'' wide wheel??? i have been on a couple sites that say they wont, but there are guys on these forums that say they are using them on 15x10 wheels??? if you are running them, can you post some pics please

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.

my truck is not at stock height. its lowered 3.5/5.5, sorry but what do you mean by "gm wide factory wheels"??

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.

thanks for the input guys. i appreciate it, one anyone happen to have more pics?

johnboyon20s · 09-13-2009, 09:03 PM

ive used that size on 10 inch wheels before no problems

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.

the rally wheels were available in 15x6.5 for vans, 15x7s and 15x8s for trucks
