Default 27/10-15 slicks

Will a set of 27/10-15 on 15X8 rims with a 5.5 bs fit on a 88 GT without rubbing issues? There are no quad shocks either.

if it's a true 10" then I wouldn't put it on an 8" wheel. I had some 27x10-15 Goodyears on some 8" Welds and the tire crowned (kinda like a motorcycle tire). Sorry I didn't answer your real question though...

Yes, it should fit w/ no issues. I ran a 28x11.50 on the same rim w/o rubbing on my 92
