I think 265's wuld be pushing it on 7" rims cause im running 255's on an 8" rim and thats about as big as you wana go.

:nono: Don't do 265's on a 7inch rim. Too wide!

I have 265's on the front, and 295's on the rear.. All on 15 X 7 Z28 rims. Was like that when I bought the car.

those look awesome, does it work right with your speedo and all, aka is the tire the same height as the stocks?

I had Cobra's Cooper Tire 265x50x 15 on 7'' rims, it was working fine with no problems whatsoever.

mat89rs what make and size rims and backspacing are those rims and what size tires are those fornt and rear and did you lower your car cause it look likes they fill up the fender wells and do you have any more pics of the car and tires thanks

That is a real good size tire for a 15*7. I run a 275/60r15 on a 15*7.

That's nuts.

bigals87z28

dam.. 275 on a 7in rim is crazy. Im thinking of 245's on the rear with 225s on the front. but then i should have irocs by then and that wont be a problem

jeffsbluez

83 why is that nuts? It is not that big of a tire.

83firebirdS/E

There would be no problem if your rims are 8" or wider. 7" is too small. 275 tires are normally put on 8.5-9.5" rims.

come on guys 275/60/15s fit just fine on 7 inch wheels and oh if you measure it out its actually 15x7.5

275 is too big. that's an 11 inch tire on a 7 inch rim. you don't see a problem with that?

jeffsbluez

A 275/60R15 is not an 11" tire. A 275/50 is an 11"

Dennis91RS

275 60 15 is exactly 10 inches wide

mat89RS

sorry for taking so long to reply, these rims are 7'' X 15 with the exact same backspacing as the stock 15'' GM rims.

The car as not been lowered

here's a few pics of the 265''

275 is the tread width in millimeters. 275mm divided by 25.4 mm per inch, gives you 10.8 inches wide. a 275/60 is the same width as a 275/50.
