I've run a 275x60x15 drag radial. Depending on your car, you should not need to use any spacers to run this tire. Mine nevere rubbed.

7" might be a bit narrow for this tire. I believe minimum recommended wheel width is 8".

M/T's, but I have no experience with them. I just installed these.

Doesnt it depend on backspacing?? tif its posted sorry if i missed it) If youre running say a TType wheel their bs is 3.5 and you can run 255/60 with out any problems for sure. If you Rear Trailing arms bushings are shot the will rub on a turn going fast.
