74bowtie May 27th, 02, 9:27 PM I am wondering if these will actually fit my rims. I went to a tire shop and they said that the 275/60R15 would only work on a rim up to 9 inches wide. I have read that some of you use these on your 10 inch wide rims. So will they work and does anyone have a picture of your 10 inch wheel with this size tire on it so I can see how it looks. Glenn1018 May 27th, 02, 11:07 PM The Yokohama tire size spec sheet says the approx rim width for a 275/60-15 is 7.5-9.5". That's not to say they won't fit 10" rims. 406_70_velle May 28th, 02, 9:30 AM I dont have any pictures but I have 275/60's on my 15 x 10 pro stars. Its fine I thought it was going to be a poblem looks great. I wouldn't worry about it. Gandolf80 has 275/60's on his ride (with pictures) do a search on him. Good luck… ------------------ 1970 chevelle 406 - TH-350 - soon to be 411's 406velle (http://www.406velle.150m.com) "I didn't get pulled over for going over the speed limit, i got pulled over for getting there faster than anyone else" 72skylark May 30th, 02, 4:16 PM so will 275/60R15s mounted on 15x8 work on a 72 skylark (4dr if that matters), that is dropped about and inch (via coils)? I need a fit that has no interference at all... Thanks -Nick Wally May 30th, 02, 5:00 PM I'm about to try that same tire in a BF Goodrich, 275x60x15 on a 8 inch rim under my 67. I think it is going to be tight!!!!! ------------------ www.muncie4speed.com (http://www.muncie4speed.com) Gold 67 1967 Malibu, 2nd owner. 1971 Malibu, been in the family since new.

Brian kjett May 31st, 02, 8:26 AM I run 275/60/15 on an 8" rally and have tons of room to spare. The rims have a 4.5" offset. I am currently using a BFG drag radial. I also have a 3" exhaust system, so it's really near worst case scenario. I have a little more than an inch of clearance on the inside and over 1/2" between the tire and quarter. ------------------ Ken Jett 1966 SS396 3800lbs 460ci Grimes Twister 11.88@120.46 w/1.76 60' Team Chevelle Member Atlanta, GA.
