10" wheel with 275/60-15 fitment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KFreddy · 03-03-2007, 08:19 PM

I just ordered a set of 15x10 rallys for the rear of my '72. Currently I have 4 15x8s shod with 255/70-15s, not exactly an aggressive set up. I will be running 15x8s with 255/60-15s up front and 15x10s with 275/60-17 out back any one have pics of an installed set of 275/60-15 on a 10" wheel?

Thanks,

-Fred

Those 275/60-17's are gonna be really hard to air up.Mostly because they wont be tight on the 10X15 in rims.

Wow,275.Thats a pretty big tire for a 2wd.Thats nearly the size of the ones on my old 79 4x4 with the 4" lift,and they are 33s.

the 90-93 ss454 trucks came stock with P275/60/15's all the way around

killer71 · 03-03-2007, 09:46 PM

let us know how they look!

**special-K** · 03-03-2007, 10:09 PM

They`ll fit.

VDOG · 03-03-2007, 11:36 PM

I have the exact same size rallyes but was not sure of tire size. Did not want 50's in the back. Again anyone that has a picture of this setup would sure be helpful.

kbs71 · 03-04-2007, 12:22 AM

I've had 295/60-15 on mine for awhile on 10" ralleys. they look good. I'll try to get some pics.

KFreddy · 03-04-2007, 01:58 AM

KBS71,

I would give my first born for the manufacture of a 295/60-15 street tire that's not a drag radial, a Hoosier or a race/ slick type style. 275/60-15 is the widest 60 series street tire that I can find, from there it goes to a 295/50-15...

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, anyone

-Fred

corn · 03-04-2007, 02:17 AM

275-60 will be fine on a 10" rim. Ive done it before & am running them on my truck but dont have them on the 10" rims yet so I cant post a pic of them for you...

kbs71 · 03-04-2007, 02:48 AM

KFreddy I/M sorry, i went out and looked and there 275/60/15, But they look FAT on those 10"rims. i can't find the cmera right now, I'll get pictures tomorrow.

409biscayne · 03-04-2007, 02:49 AM

I run 255 / 60 on 7's on the front , and 275/60 on 8's on the back , 6 stud ralleys , i know you can put 275's on 10 inch , but does it look o.k. ?? If you want pics on the 8 inch i can get them tomorrow .
Later ................................... 409

Longhorn Man · 03-04-2007, 05:39 AM

a 275 on a 10 inch rim is ideal. I had that set up on my old GMC... however, I don't have any photos on this computer. They are all on the hard drive sitting in my desk.

It'll look awsome, that is about the same width of the tread... good fit.

You coment on the 295's all being 50 series... remember, with that much width, the 50 series will still be a fairly tall tire, at about 28 or so inches... pretty much just as tall as the 275/60.

Tx Firefighter · 03-04-2007, 06:26 AM

Andy, 295/50 is 26.6 inches tall. 275/60 is 28.

I've run 275/60 on 10 inch wheels a lot. I'll look for a pic. Hold on...

Tx Firefighter · 03-04-2007, 06:36 AM

Here is my old 83 with 15x10 Centerline wheels and 295/50 BF Goodrich tires all around. Truck was lowered 3 in front, 4 in back. After these tires wore out, I went with 275/60's because they were taller. I'll try to find a later pic with that setup.

see ten · 03-04-2007, 08:36 AM

Here's 275/60 15 on all four corners. The rear are on 15x10s with 4.5" of BS. The fronts are 15x8 with 4" of backspace. I test fit these on the back of my truck before ordering my 17x9.5" rims.

VDOG · 03-04-2007, 01:14 PM

Thanks SEE TEN!!!

That looks great. I wanted to see how a taller tire would look.
Now all I need is to lower my truck.

boraxman · 03-04-2007, 01:47 PM

I had 275's on 10's, no issues.

Longhorn Man · 03-04-2007, 02:50 PM

Tx... thanks for correcting me. Typical guy thinkin it should be bigger than it is huh?
