Pics please: 275/60 15's in an 8 inch rim

I'll be putting on these tires pretty soon but I am wondering if anyone has any experience with them on an 8 inch rim. I have read on this board that they are fine, and I have read that the center wears out sooner on an 8 inch rim then on a 10 inch rim. I want to get it right because these BFG TA's are pretty dang spendy now a days...

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience, well......that comes from bad judgment.


1968 Chevy C-10 "Longshot": Bought used from my Uncle George in 1994 and proceeding to beat the hell out of it for 4 years. Sold it. Bought it back, dumped an ungodly amount of money into it since then.

Reiner
these are some ugly wheels i got cheap just for burnouts. 15x8s with the 275 60s. i got rid of them, but they served there purpose. truck now has a 3in drop, and fixing to go down another inch or so after the bigblock goes in.

I was running 275/60's on 8" rims on the rear of both my 69's. I'm called BS on the wearing out in the center...
