As I said, will that big of a drag radial fit with stock wheel wells? What needs to be done to make big tires fit on these? Mini-tub needed? What wheel and backspace combo do you need? Offset control arms?

Re: will 295/65/15's fit?

I would start here;

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/whee...bo-street.html

And if that doesnt answer the question, run a search in the wheels and tires forum, for "widest tires", it should turn up a couple of discussions that talk about it.

FWIW, I run a 275/50 with no issues, on 8-1/2" rims with 4-1/2" BS (I think). I looked at the 295s, and the 65 series of both 275, and 295 width, and didnt like the fact that the speedometer would need correcting. The 275/50 is within 1/2" of a factory tire, so its close enough.
