Default Will a 275 tire fit on a 10" wide wheel???

I ordered a set of race star industries wheels, 15x10's in the back and picked up a set of 275/60/15's on a sweet deal. I was under the impression that having 275's on a 10" wheel would have a good contact patch but on Mickey Thomson's site they said that tire size is for a 7.5-9.5" wide wheel.

everybodies doing it, literally. U wont have an issue, this is one of the most popular wheel size and tire size combinations out there. I run the 15x10 bs street lites with the mickeyt 275/60 15 and it fits great.

Ok sweet I was a little worried for a minute lol. Now will this wheel and tire combo that I have fit on the car or will I have to do some stuff to make them fit? I cant test fit them on the car as I have no rear end, driveshaft, tq arm, lca's or gas tank in the car right now.

I put 275x60's on 15x10 weld's last year and they look great! Spreads the tire out quite a bit.
