tire size vrs rim
I am looking at tiers 275/60/15 it is sugjested to go on a 7.5 to 10 in rim. I have 7". Should I stay away?
My car is not as fast as I think it is.
I've run 275/60-15s on 15x7" rims on the street without any problems.
I also ran 28x10" slicks on the same size rim and it worked pretty good. 26x10s were squirrely on that narrow of a rim.

I've run BFG 275/60-15s on a 7" rim. Seemed fine to me. You'll likely end up running a little bit less air pressure to compensate for the crowning that the narrow rim with cause, but being a drag radial, you won't run into any stability issues.
