Is anyone fitting a 275/60r15 with a 10" wide 6.5 BS on their Cobra with IRS?

I'm ordering new wheels and tires on monday, just curious if I could go 275/60 over the 26" 275/50.

the trick is getting a 15 inch wheel to fit. all the 15s i have ever seen on an irs require grinding of the knuckles and possibly other modifications.

Yeah I'm gonna grind the knuckle, already have the brake hoses and fittings. Just wanted some positive answers on tire fitment.

yea you can run a 28" tire no problem as long as you aren't slammed. Id also make sure the rear fenders are rolled and you may need low pro irs bolts. You may want to look into 295's over 275's on a 10" rim.

What rear brake hoses did you get?. I am looking at picking up a rear set of 15x10 with a 6.50BS. I have a solid rear end. but the rear brake lines have a bigger square block(attach to rear calipers) that looks like it will be in the way.
