295/65/15 Drag Radial on a 15x8 wheel with 4.5" backspacing and a B-body Dana 60 using offset hangars.



I wondered about using 8" or 10" wheels but I had to have the early style Keystone Klassics (which are very hard to get) & a set of NOS 15" x 10" came up so I grabbed them.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using either of these size rims with the tire sizes mentioned?



Honestly, I think the 8" wheels are a little narrow for the 295/65's. The sidewalls bulge quite a bit. I don't have a great picture of the sidewall bulge at my fingertips, but this one shows it a little bit.
