Sure.
That tire is 275mm wide. There are 25.4mm per inch. So 275/25.4 = 10.8" wide.
50 is the side wall height in percent of the width. So the sidewall height is 0.5*275/25.4=5.4"
Wheel size is 15". So overall height is 15+5.4+5.4 = 25.8"

Re: conversion table?
Width - divide the mm section width by 25.4
Tire diameter - multiply the section width * profile *2, divide that number by 25.4, then add that number to your wheel diamter.
Example: (275*2*.50)/25.4 + 15 = 25.73" diameter...
