Your rims(5 spoke) should be 15"X7". 255/60-15's are about 1/2" shorter
than your oem tire(27.7" tall),
offer a 8.2" wide tread width and are useable on rims from 6.5"-10.0".
275/60-15's are about 1/4" taller with 8.9" tread width and useable on 7"-11".
For optimum handling and tire wear, the tread width should be close to
the rim
width. While the 275's would fit, I'd recommend the 255's for those reasons.
(specifications/numbers are for BFG Radial T/A's-other tires should be close)
