Would be the same as 275/60/15 with the exception of a 25.8" diameter VS the 60 series 28" diameter.

i have 275/60/15 on a 15 x 8 rim w/ 4" i trimmed the fenderlip, and thats it. i have 3/4"-1" on either side if i remember correctly

Depending on what tire you use the tread pattern will be wider on a 275/50-15 than a 275/60-15. The MT ET Drag Radial 50 is a 10" tread width as opposed to a 9.2 on the 60 and about 2"s shorter also. I have 275/50-15 Mt ET Drag Radials on a 8" Prostar with 3.5" backspacing and with a rolled lip it is tight but fits with no rubbing. My rear is a 9" and not sure of the measurements but it's close to stock. Without the rolled lips these would rub.

Here is a shot of mine on the Bu. Hope this helps ya out Tony.
