you could FIT up to a 255 on the rim, in a 60 series, but it would bulge on the sidewalls, for the biggest fit on that rim, I wouldnt go any bigger than a 245 personally. Its a 7" rim with a 245, some people run 245's on 9" rims, think about that 0

i've heard of people doing it, but i wouldnt reccomend it, not even for a track only tire.... i have 235/60/15's on my ten holes (track only) and they hook fine , if you're worried about hooking up, those are good tires, for the street.... biggest i'd go is 245's

I am running 275/50 on my rims. I did have to flip the quad shocks and lightly hammer in the inner fender. There is only about a half inch on each side where the tire is clean with 30 psi in them.
