I seen a post yesterday where a guy fit ~345/15s. I just bought some 295/50s and they struggled to mount them on my 8" rim, but it can be done. They fit prefectly fine.

I have found that a 255/70/15 fits an 8" wheel & leaves a perfect 8" wide footprint when the clutch comes up

My 295/15s are giving me a full tire patch ln a spin. They are a good fit for an 8" rim.
