It has less tread width, which confuses me... to me a 245 = 245mm wide, and a 255 = 255mmm wide. But, it is a good amount taller and has more section width. (overall width) Mounting a 275/60-15 on a 7" wide wheel isn't recommended, but I've seen it done.

Although not recommended, a 275 will work on a 7" rim, the previous owner of my car had these 275/50's on this 72 for 8 yrs and I will be replacing them with 275/60's on 8" rims. I've had to postpone doing it because of funds, but until I do, I'll keep running them. Heck I have a Dodge truck with 295's on 7" rim's and those tire have had 60,000 miles put on them.

Here's a pic of my 72 from my post on tires.

Nice car! Definitely looks better with rear down where it should be. If you get new rear tires and rims, let me know what you for the set on there now.
