Default 275/60/15 would they fit???

I just found and bought 15"x7" iroc rims to stick on the back of my SS for the strip, I'm gonna need new drag radials so my question is would a 275/60/15 bfg drag fit on these rims. If not what would be the best tire to put on these rims? Thanks.

Yes, they will fit, but not well. The sidewalls will bulge too much (even 8" wide wheels are barely adequate for those tires). Also, those IROC wheels have the wrong offset for a 4th gen Fbody, and will stick out about 2 inches.

Get ready for your best JOE DIRT impression

^^^

what he said..

I have them (well P275/50 R15 ) on my 15x8 pro stars for daily use.. and I think they bulge too much they're ok... but woulda been better if I had gone 15x10 ... (just didn't wanna grind my calipers that much!)
