But this is exactly why I asked so I could get all the information I need and get the proper fitment. So, with the correct backspacing the 28's should fit no problem right?

And according to Jegs the reason I went with a 12 inch wide tire is because it has the "recommended" wheel widths listed there

The 28/12/15 should fit perfect with the 15x10 wheels with 5in bs, they are the same width as 295/50/15(12.2in) tire just 2in taller.

A 275/60-15 is 28" tall (w/variance per mfr).

3 inch front, cut springs, 2 inch rear, 3 inch drop shackles (1 1/2) remove 2 leaves from each spring pack (1/2). When I choosing tires I am damn sure the specs for the T/A's were 27.2, but I see they are 28 on an 8 inch rim. Mine will sit a bit lower due to rim width. So more like 27.5 I figure. Regardless my favorite rear tire size in the 70's and 80's was a L60/15 and the 275R60's are basically the same size. Back in the day I liked G60's up front on fullsize cars So I went with the 245R60's which are the same as a G60.

Yes I still think in alpha numeric tire sizes
