I have seen 275/50/15 on the 10 holes, but they look kinda funny. I had 265/50/15 on mine and they were fine. I have sence changed to ponys.

Did you have the 265's on the ponies 5oh?

i have seen the 275's on 15 inch rims... they do look a lil diff thats for sure, but they will fit fine...

the pony rims are 16" rims... as far as i know the widest 50 series performance tire you can get in 16" is 245

Yeah, I have the 245/50/16 on the ponys. I think that is the best size for the ponys.
