i would get a 275/60/15 on a 15x8 wheel if i were you b/c of your 4.10s. If you go 275/50 with your 4.10's, you may have a problem with running out of gear when trapping causing you to have to let off or shift into 5th because the 275/50/15 is a shorter tire then the 275/60/15..... I have 275/50/15 BFG drag radials on 15x8 prostars and they fit great on the rim but i dont need the taller tire b/c i have stock 3.27s so i dont have to worry too much about running out of gear
