Default Oddball tires

I found a good deal on new tires and I was wondering if 275/60/15's would work on the stock rims. there's only a .3 inch difference between those and 10.50's. Truck is 2wd if that matters.

If you have the stock 7.5 rims you will have no problem installing the tires. If your rims are narrow, under 6 inches you may have a shop refuse to install the tires on them for safety reasons. For most shops a three inch difference either way is no problem. As far as the .3 inch difference you will have more variance between tire maker than that for the same sized tires, either the flotation or the p-metric designations.

At full lock you might have a little, I do on my 31x10.50s. But it's easily avoidable

i normally don't turn all the way so that's a good thing. i can get all 4 tires for just over 300 installed and all that so i definitely know i won't have any issues.

If you have the right rims rubbing should not be an issue as the 265 tires were stock on some trim packages.
