Key word in their charts is "recommended". Too many of us have run the 275-60R15's on 7" wide rims tens of thousands of miles without incident. If you think about it, you are only bringing in the bead a quarter inch a side. Is it better to run a 7-1/2" rim, yes -- will it be catastrophic if you run a 7" rim, no.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
