i have that size nitto drag radial on my car and they advertise 10.8 inches wide but it also depends how wide the rim is. i am running them on a 15x8 draglite

the 275/50 is a 10" tire, but the 60 isn't. the sidewall height comes into play, somehow.

The section width is about 11" but the tread width is only about 9". That is
on an 8" rim. Section width will change with the rim size, but the tread wont.

Keep in mind that tire is nearly 28" tall - about 10% taller than the stock sized Mustang tire. That will turn a 3.73 gear into something like a 3.35.
