Does anyone know if 295/50/15's will fit an 8x15 ralley wheel? or do i need 10x15 rallies???

thesickc10 · 02-23-2011, 07:21 PM

they will fit on 15x8's

HTX86chevy · 02-23-2011, 07:30 PM

thanks!!!!! I'm gonna mount them first thing in th A.M...... Im excited lol!

According to my source at the local BF GOODRICH warehouse, an 8" rim is the narrowest rim you can fit those 295/50R15 TIRES onto.

Oh BTW a "WHEEL" and a "RIM" are the same thing. I believe that you meant to say Will these wider TIRES fit my rims? and not "Will these wider wheels fit my rims?"in your topic title.

Hope this helps!!! Have fun and good luck!!

Actually "rims" have spokes, like on a motorcycle....I really hate to hear people refer to "wheels" as rims.

Those things will fit on your what-ya-call-it.

69GMC910 · 02-24-2011, 12:16 AM

just don't be doing doughnuts with it.... The bead is under more stress on a narrow wheel, which makes it more prone to popping off the wheel...

silvereagle07 · 02-24-2011, 11:12 AM

They will fit but they look best on a 10" wide wheel.

Cough, actually, the "Rim" of a Wheel, is the outer "hoop", the piece the tire mounts onto, and that the spokes connect to. All wheels have a "rim" whether they are 100 spoke daytons, motorcycle wheels, or even a 20" custom wheel.

I do agree, I hate hearing people refer to wheels as rimz yo.

I run 295/50's on 8" wheels in the rear... Also, here is a pic of a local truck (silver) that runs 8" rally's with 295's in the rear...

HTX86chevy · 02-24-2011, 12:25 PM

Got any more pics? I LIKE that one.

HTX86chevy · 02-24-2011, 04:39 PM

I ended up going with 275-60-15 instead of the 295-50-15. still a much wider tire in the rear compared to the 235's i had. I

Pop's C-10 · 02-24-2011, 07:41 PM

That silver truck is sweet..nice stance & rubber combo

Jonboy · 02-24-2011, 08:02 PM

275/60 is a good good choice.

HTX86chevy · 02-24-2011, 08:32 PM

thanks Jon, yeah I really like the 275/60's.

carloscanales · 02-27-2011, 01:50 AM

i really like mine with 295 50s on 15x8 wheels
here are some pics

in the future i want to try 275 60s BFGs

rcsweet21 · 02-27-2011, 12:28 PM

did the same thing you just did and with the same tire the center of the tire will wear out faster even if you keep them properly inflated to narrow 10 inch wheels work better
