i have that size nitto drag radial on my car and they advertise 10.8 inches wide but it also depends how wide the rim is. i am running them on a 15x8 draglite

the 275/50 is a 10" tire, but the 60 isn't. the sidewall height comes into play, somehow.

The section width is about 11" but the tread width is only about 9". That is
on an 8" rim. Section width will change with the rim size, but the tread wont.

thanks,i thought they were wider than that,i had the 275/50 and the 60 series.i was hoping they made a 10'' wide in a 28'' tire

Keep in mind that tire is nearly 28" tall - about 10% taller than the stock sized Mustang tire. That will turn a 3.73 gear into something like a 3.35.

i had them on the car before ,i borrowed them from a friend

i need the tall tire for the c4 and 3.73s

thanks
