[SUPERSTAR14]

Is anyone running P295/50R15 on 8.5 Vectors? If so could you post pics installed on car please?
Thanks

I have no pics of that size on a 8,5" wide rim but 295/50-15 tires belong on a 10" wide rim.

That looks awesome!!!!!!! I thought they belonged on a 10 inch also but the BF site says you can run on an 8 inch, that is why I was interested in a pic to see how bad they "ballooned" out the sides on an 8.5 inch.

It will fit of course but it won't ride as good as on a 10" rim, the side wall will be less stable because of the ballooning.

I run 305s in the rear on my '69. 10" Vector w Cooper Cobra. I have a 1" narrowed axle, but didn't tub or do anything else to affect the car. I'll see if I can snap a picture for you.

Here is 295/50/R15 on a 10" vector (for some reason I was thinking I had 305s). Mine rubbed on my stock 8.75. I had disc brakes though which have a 1/4" flange that pushed everything out. Currently it is a Dana-60 from Moser narrowed 1" on each side. I'll try to take another shot from behind when the sun goes down and isn't in the shot.

Hope this helps...

Hopefully these pictures turn out better for you...
