Default Pics of 275/60/15 or 275/50/15 tires?

I have plans for 15x8 Draglites in the back with either 275/60/15 or 275/50/15 M/T ET Street Radials (never seen that before lol). My decision between the two tire sizes comes down to looks/fitment, does a 275/60 rub the wheel well? If not, probably leaning towards that. Anyone running those size tires, please post up some pics! Those with the exact tire/wheel I mentioned, pics of that will be GREATLY appreciated!

By slpsscamaro at 2011-12-28 i would do some research of the issues with running a 28 inch rear, also i would shoot for a 10 inch , the 275 60s look kinda streched to me so i will go with a bigger size next time i need tires

275/50-15 on a 9.5" wide rim. This is about as big as you can go on a lowered car with out modifying the fender wells/lip.

Thanks guys! All of these look great.... since the 275/60/15 looks great and fits well I'm going to go with that size. I have no plans to lower it, at least in the rear so I should be fine with fitment. Thanks again.

Perfect size for 4th gens! Not to mention it has the looks PLUS the grip advantages... at least in a straight line lol.
