They should fit.. I had 275/60R15 and they fit - even though they were less than 1/4 inch from the e-brake bracket...

:cheers:

I will likely put those on my rear wheels and leave the 245's in the front as all 4 of my 245's are only 1 year old.

I'd like to see the pics just to see how close it actually gets. I'll probably still get them next week or so anyway

Will there be a handling difference?? I'd really like a 275-50-15. But BF-Goodrich only makes that in DR's for the 15" rim. Do you think there will be too much side wall making too much body roll in agressive driving??

Cool.

They seem to fill the wheel well a little better than my 225-70's. My main concern was them hitting the inside of the fender well and the E-brake. But, I think everything should be okay. I wonder if I've got enough power to bark 275's. 225's scream like raped babies in 2nd...But 275 seem like a lot of rubber to make scream.
