This doesn't mean much by itself. The "295" is the tread width but without that second number we have no idea of how tall the tire is.

that said, 295 is about 11-3/4" wide tread. A 295 55 15 tire would be just shy of 28" tall. With a 10" wheel and 5-1/2" backspacing these should work just fine with 1/4" to spare at the inner wheel well - provided the axle is in the right place !!
