Hey, hope I'm not too late. I would go p275 on a 15x8.5" wheel with ballpark of 4.75-5.5 Backspace with a 1/4" spacer for rear. Do basic modding like hammer the rear seatbelt humps in, cut excess shock stud material, roll inner fenderlips. Measure. Move shocks inboard. I am having a hard time with this as well. Anyone care to chime in on this. Also weld wheels are more recomended as they are proven to fit right with greatest quality, I hear. More info I have also heard and read with great uncertainty that 15X8 with 4.5" bs will fit 275 in rear with rear raised one inch if they are 60 series. I'm gtting some 15X10's trying to get some p295's from BFG because that is my favorite tire in the world, they shouldn't change anything that ain't broke with that tire! Its not the stickiest but its a great lasting street tire on a lighter vehicle. They last forever. I'm afraid BFG knows this so they are trying to make us have to buy more different tires more often. but anyway...15X10 with 5.5" b.s. and 1/4" spacer... stiff suspension (ala air shocks or thick stabilizer bar) raised one inch in rear plus modding. I will let you know how it goes...but had to get new job recently may be a while.
