I take it thats supposed to be 275-60-15? and either way, that sidewall is HUGE, and the overall diameter is way ****ed. get those offa your car NOW. NOW NOW NOW. do it while you read this. your speedometer is probably having coniption fits trying to figure out what its suppoed to be doing, and your car prolly handles like a bulldozer in dinter with that big of a tire on the back...

ok, reprimand over. the offset you can use on the car greatly depends on your purposes, but typically you';d want to stick to between +32mm to +38mm..... somehwere in that range should be fine... and No I cant tell you what the wheel offset if on YOUR car, because its the wrong application, probably has way to high of a negative offset to begin with, did I mention its the wrong application?

look on the inside of the wheel it should have something like "16x9.5 40jj) or something, that number after the size of the wheel is usually the offset.

hope that helps, and take those off..

What kind of wheel?? That's like asking "anyone know the size of a Pirelli tire?"

I got no clue on the offset, but Pansport makes 16x10....you should cop those.
