I use 15x8's and 295/50's, the 15x7's might be a little too small

|If it's the 15x7...God NO. Waaaaayyyy too big and it'll bulge out on the
|sides (looks dumb as is and isn't safe for the tire).
|
|If it's the 15x8, Maybe...but wouldn't try it unless you've got a 15x10
|
|I believe the widest you can go on the 15x8 is a 265 - 275...safely.

|Will a 295/50/r15 fit on my stock 15 inch rims. I have the optional split
|five spokes. I'm looking at this tire, it's a firehawk. Very soft and I
have
|seen them hook good before. If it won't fit, what is the widest I can go on
|my rim, and if I change the tire height I have to go up to my dealership
and
|have them re-calibrate my computer for the different size tires, right?
