Good Day All

I have a pair of 275/60R15 Goodrich T/A radials. What is the narrowest rim width that these can be safely mounted on?

As always Thanks to All.

I would say 8 inch.

BF Goodrich sez the suggested rim width is 7-9.5

My rear tires are 275/60's on a 7" rim. Yeah the sidewalls are bulged, but it's not too bad. Some people hate how it looks but I wouldn't say it's unsafe. Handles good too.

For comparison the fronts are 255/60's.
