Any trouble with 275/50/15 on a 15x10 wheel?

I am looking into getting 15x10 pro-star weld wheels, but I am wanting to use 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Tires. Will this cause any problems since the recommended wheel width on these tires are only up to a 9.5 inch wide wheel? If they can cause problems what would they be? I will eventually go to 325/50/15 tires when I get nitrous, but until then I don't want a 28 inch tall tire. Thanks for any help.

I run the 275 50 R15s on my 15x10 Bogarts and they are fine...I just saw the M/T website and it does say 1" variance is acceptable and they are measured on an 8.5"...They have been fine for a year with great wear pattern, traction, ride quality, etc...
