Tire and Wheel sizes?
I'm getting ready to buy new rear tires and I will be going from the original tires and wheels which are: 275/50/15 on a 8" width wheel
To ( I hope) a 295/50/15 with a 10" width wheel.
I see a potential tight spot for the tire section width. If you are looking at the right rear at 2 o'clock there is only about 1.5 inches of available area on the inside at the fiberglass body. The rest has good clearance. The 295 is about 1" wider with the same wheel(8") but if I go to a 10" it could become wider. I know tire manufactures have different dimensions for the same tire.
Could you guys give me some help with this for a B&B upgrade?
What is everybody running?
The 275s are getting scarce and I would like to go to a 295.
Would a 295 look good on an 8" width wheel?
I have Weld pro stars.
Thanks
Lou
