The O.D. is 27.5 inches according to the specs I've seen.

My BFG Charts says:

Rim width range - 7.0 - 11.00
Overall diameter - 28.0
Tread width - 8.9
Section width on measuring rim width** - 11" on 8" rim

** Section width varies approximately 0.2" for every 0.5"
change in rim width

(275 mm wide x 60% aspect ratio) x 2 = 12.99" + 15" for rim = 28"

My calculations:

275 X .6 = 165 millimeters is side wall height (aspect ratio is the relationship between the tread width and the side wall height)

Multiply millimeters by .039 to get inches : .039 X 165 = 6.435 inches. Multiply by 2 to get both side wall heights (top and bottom of tire): 6.435 X 2 = 12.87

Add this to the 15" wheel diameter: 15 + 12.87 = 27.87 inches
