When you look up that size tire on Summit, every tire says to put it on a rim 7.5" to 9.5" wide. So according to Summits site, that wheel is a tad small for that tire. Better off finding some 15x8's.

It'll fit. May look funny. Ideal size is 8-9.5" wheel

My buddy had a 295/50/15 on a stock 15x7 rim.
It was bulged, and looked funny, but it worked.
275 should work "ok".

Re: will a 275 fit on 7" rim?
Typically the small wheel will pull the tire in & you will lose tread contact at the outer edges, so traction will be no better than a tire of the appropriate size. If they are free, then OK, if buying a tire, go with something a little smaller.
