Looking for pictures

I am looking for pictures of an 8" wide rims with a 295/50-15 tire on them. If you have this setup on your truck would you post or email me a picture. The closer shot of the wheel the better. I just want to see what it would look like before I buy.

295/50/15 is not recomended for an 8in rim I put some pics of a set of rims I have in the 60-66 message board. 2 fronts are 8 x 15 and rears are 9.5x15 you need a 9 - 11" rim for that size tire. 295/50/15 tire width is range between 12 and 12.4" wide.. If you need a better picture of rims or what the tire looks like on these rims let me know..I also have a set of Rallyies 8x15 as well they have 275/60/15 tires. I am getting rid of the wheels and tires because I am switching over to Torque Thrust 5lugs rims and they don't give these away or cheap for that matter...

I've got 295/50's on my 15 x 8 corvette style rally's and they look great. I don't see what the problem would be. I've never heard anybody say that you shouldn't use a 8" rim with them..... I'll see if i can post some pics tonight for you. later...........Jerry

Check out the Tire Websights plug in you tire size and see what rim the recomend. Too small a rim will round out the edges of the tire not giving you a full flat area. It's a pretty wide tire on a narrow rim. Good tire size for 8" rim would be a 275/60/15 but these also look better on a 9+in rim.. JMO

74,
I've got these mounted on 15x10 wheels. They're Mastercraft...never heard of them before, they were on the truck when I bought it. They reccomend a 8-10" wheel for the p295/50.
