Default 275x60x15 too tall?

i know the 275 50 15's fit just fine, but how about a 60? I seen an 03 mustang with a set of DR's in this size and it looked AWSOME!!! i was just curious if they where too tall for a 2000 SS on a set of 8.5x15 wheels?

if they will fit,,, got pics ?

TTT...if nothing else, could someone tell me how damn tall the 60's are? I know 27'' tires will fit but 28's are too tall

I know several people that run a 28" on their car. They are tight but they fit.

i dont know why u are going to get such a tall tire. those tires are useless if u arent making the power to get them moving. i just bought 275 50 15 m/t drag radials and they hook extremely good. i couldnt see why you need a taller tire than this one if u have a car with just basic bolt ons. if u put a tall tire and u arent making the power then you will have problems leaving off the line and lose mph.
