Opinions on 275/60/15 Street/Strip Tires..

I know ive asked before but now i have different tires and different rims. A buddy Gave me 15 inch Cragar SS rims with Firehawk Street/strip tires. Ive always been a big fan of wide tires. This is where everyone yells at me and tells me how dumb i am haha... Im currently running the stock 16 inch black crosslace rims. The rear end has the 50's. Theyre big but i like wide tires. These are nice tires in my opinion and if anything for them to look better i would paint the spokes black. Im not good with the backspacing stuff and all of that so before i go into major headaches what do you guys think? Also i just checked and my rear tires are more than on their last leg..the outside tread is great but the middle has absolutely none. Thanks for the opinions

i found this but i dont think it helps much https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/whee...75-60-15s.html

here she is now



Heres my buddies car that gave me the tires with almost identical tires just a wee bit smaller


heres the tires and rims(:

Ugh, sad news. Remembered I can't take off the back tires because it has a lock nuts on it and I cannot get them off. I did every remedy I could find so far but I'll keep teying

My old set of 275/60-15 nitto tires fit the stock wheels just fine. Don't expect a 275/60 tire to fit in the well if the car has been lowered, but you should be able to wing it.

Also don't expect any good handling or people riding in the backseat with those tires.
