On billyjacks sticky it says he runs 275/60/15's with no problemsThe rear will rub on the fender. I have tried 295/50's, 275/60's and they both rub. You can use 255/60 but you won't have the tire height. I believe trannymike uses the 255/60 on the rear of his and it looks great. I also pull a 16' welding trailer so I don't really need any wide tires. My car is a cruiser not a canyon carver. The sticky that billyjack has on the forum is very helpful. If you have a chance you should read it.
Would a 15x8 and 4.25 backspacing work with 275/60/15 ?Yes, a 275/60 works fine, but as I mention in the sticky, backspace is critical, as clearance is tight on both sides of the tire.
