I run a 275/50 on a 10" wheel with no issues, a 60 will have more sidewall to flex and be even better off than mine.

Those particular tires are large...will probably be more fitting to a 10" wheel than a smaller one anyway.

I run the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials, 275/50/15, on my 15x10 Dark Stars. Fit great, look great, and hook even better.

I would imagine the reason that MT specifies a more narrow wheel has to do with the tire working so well on higher powered cars that it has a tendency to spin without a beadlock on a wider wheel. When you squeeze a wide tire on a more narrow wheel you have a tighter seal against the bead of the tire making it hold better and less likely to spin on the wheel.

Thanks for all the replies...

I am thinking I should be ok but will try and if the tire moves at all I guess I will have to get a bead lock....

I have 921 rwhp now and its on a 4530 lb (with driver) car...

thanks again...
