275/60/15 on the back with a 6 inch drop?
I have the chance to get a set of weld 15x10 pro stars with 275/60/15 on them and was wondering if they would fit in the back with my drop. They look close, but thought I would ask before running all over for them.

Jack it up and put one on the hub. Remove the shock and spring and move the wheel all the way through it's travel by hand. That is the best way to check if the wheel will fit your actual vehicle. It will account for any specific quirks of your vehicle.

I don't have the wheels on hand. I have to drive three hours to get them. Hence asking the question. And it's for the rear, not the front.

That tire is 27.99" tall, and I currently have a 295/35r20 which is 28.13" tall. I have a 7" rear drop and there are no clearance issues at all. The tire height will not be an issue pending the backspacing is correct and the wheel is centered in the well. Please consider this first.

I have 275 60 15 on the back of mine. 15x8 rallye wheels, 7" drop. No issues here.

You can run that combo no problem.

Re: 275/60/15 on the back with a 6 inch drop?
the tire will fit, but it depends on the wheel backspace and rear width (there are two widths). measure your rear axle flange width and what's the wheel bs?

I have a 15x14 on the rear of mine with 28" Mickey Thompsons. The key is like said previously, backspacing. I have a 6 " back spacing on mine and they work finewith stretched tubs and the wood floor cut in more.

Re: 275/60/15 on the back with a 6 inch drop?
When asking about "will these fit" information is useless if you don't have the rim back spacing specs.
