295s will not fit a 8" rim... you would want to run a 10"

Drove it on the street & at the track; good for 1.98-2.02 60ft short times on stock(worn out) leaf springs & Mr Gasket "slapper" bars.......

You can fit a 295\50\15 on a 15\8" rim. The manuals usually specify the minimum rim size as 15x8" to 15x10" being acceptable... I had this combo on my '70 Ranchero for awhile many years back, I needed some traction on a budget & I could only afford those cheap azz "nugget" chrome 15x8" wheels to mount cheapo Pep Boys 295\50\15's onto...... Drove it on the street & at the track; good for 1.98-2.02 60ft short times on stock(worn out) leaf springs & Mr Gasket "slapper" bars.......

Finally a positive post
Thanks for the help all of you.
