Rear Tires Question??

[70 CoronetRT]

I want to run BF Goodrich 295-50-15 tires on the rear of my 1970 Coronet R/T. Will the 295's fit on 8" rallye rims or do I need to buy 10" wide rims??

they will fit on 8". I have a set on 8" cragars.

cheers!

What's the 295 look like on the 8" wheel? Sidewalls all ballooned out and the tread not flat?

Here's a MT chart that shows tires and wheel fitments.

tires are ballooned a little but it just looks old school to me. The tread is nice and flat. Thanks for asking.
