That would be a sweet combo......I second the suggestion. Do we have a quorum for a full vote?

A little wider in front:  245/60/15 and 295/50/15 in back.  Both would be about the same diameter; somewhere around 26".  Though 3.5" is not a lot of backspace up front.

Can you post some pictures of the 295/50/15 on a 8" wide rim?

Thanks
