Will They fit on a 15x8 Wheel?

Anybody running them?
 
You can probably squeeze them on, but you really need a 10 inch wide rim. A 275 should fit an 8 inch rim just fine.
 
I concur with the above statement as I have my 295s on a 10" wheel, and my 275s on a 8" wheel with no side wall ballooning or tread area being severly rounded.
 
I'd say you'd need a 10" rim. I have 295/50's on 10" rim. They'd be pretty sucked in on 8"
 
I have 295-65s on 8" rims on my Cuda. The 8" rim is the narrowest recommended rim.

I had 295 65 15 mt dr on my 73 charger on 8 inch wheel with 4inch backspace they worked but they would be better on 10inch wheel
 
Here's my 295 on a 10" wheel. No bulging.

Funny this was what I did today...15x10 with5.5 back space, 295/65r15s. This is with stock 318 Satellite springs and ride height. Inner lip is TIGHT! Will roll or shave the lip and already planned on th +1 inch lift split mono springs.

How much space do you have on the inside?
The wheel spun free. Didn't see any issues rubbing on the springs. I have the 14 inch magnums back on now...waiting for some rear suspension parts, so I can't measure. Due to spot welds in the fender lip when they put on quarter skins I wasn't able to roll the lips and had to take them off so they wouldn't rub. I'm off next week. I'll try to measure then.
 
There's about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the leaf springs, and about the same on fender size. This is using the 5.5" backspaced 10" wheel.

Now i have to see what it will take to get a Pair on a Duster.
