Default 275/50/15 question

I went to a local autoparts store today to pic a set of these up. They said with a 373 gear and the hp I am making ( 400 )they would be all I needed. They told me a 28inch tire was a little big unless I spray the car later.

Now with that said .... He asked me what size rim I was going to be putting the tire on. I told him I had a set of 15x10 welds they would be going on. He said that they would not fit a 10 inch rim? I have seen alot of people talk about putting these on a 10 inch rim. The 275/50/15's I am looking at are Mickey Thompson Dr's. He showed me on their site the rim size goes up to a 9.5 ..

Does this mean I need to buy another set of rear rims?

A 275/50 is a 26" tire and they do fit on 15x10s. I would take the car somewhere else

I wouldn't run that tire on anything less than a 10" rim.
