Re: wheels and tire combination
From personal experience 275/60r15 will mount onto a 15x10 rim no problem I just had my Cooper Cobras put on last week and I am running a 235/60r15 on the front on a 15x8 rim. I personally like the look of this combo on my stepside that is lowered because of how they fill up the wheel wells. Here is a picture after I lowered my rear by 2 inches a few days ago I haven't had a chance to snap a picture after I lowered my front end but you should get the idea.

Re: wheels and tire combination
I run 255/60 up front and 275/60 out back for the staggered look and it gave it a little more rake. Because the front tire is about an inch shorter.
