Will a 295/50 R 15 On a 15 x 8“ rally wheel fit the rear of a stock suspension 1972 road runner

Rear wheel well opening without rubbing

Why do you want a 50 series tire? That only has a total diameter of 26”. That will not fill up the wheel well. I know for a fact that 275/60/15 on and 8” rim fits without issues and fills up the wheel well.

I’ve seen it on a 71 charger and it looked pretty cool... 275/60 seems kind of tall

What backspacing did you go with?

I ordered the powder coated rally wheels from universal tire I think they were 4 1/2 inch backspacing whatever comes standard when you order the 8 inch
