    Default 275/60/15's on factory rims

    Saw an ad today someone had 275/60/15 Et Streets on factory 10 hole rims. Will that even fit the rim right let alone fit the wheel wells? Looks like it pinched the sidewalls in to much.

    Define "Fit". Regular street style radials will go on and be ok, but an 8 or 9" rim would be a much better fit for that size tire. Backspacing and ride height play a major role as to if it will fit in the wheel well.

    Had T/A 275/60/15 on my Ranger (rear), factory 2003 chromed steel 15x7 Ranger XLT rims. 3.45 gear.
    Fit wheel well fine. The 2.3 engine could spin them.
    Too much tire. Bulged look. Noticeable difference as to what gear to use and handling.

    Switched to 245/60/15 T/A's in rear, now have them all the way around.
    Perfect looks wise, handling, and overall satisfaction.
