295/50-15s - will they fit???

[KrisR]

Wheels are 15x8 with 4" backspacing.

Only for the rear, of course.

Will they fit my '86 GN without 'massaging'?

They fit just fine for me one my stock T wheels. My car is also lowered one inch and they will rub a little going over railroad tracks if I don't slow down. Otherwise no problems and they look really good.

Thanks for the quick response -

What brand are you running?

Could you send me pics? Looks like the pic listed in your sig is down...

Yep.
You'll have to roll the inner fender lip & have the correct backspace. I used 7/32 spacers on my T-Type wheels, but had a slight rub in tight corners & on rough roads.

No...

Here is my old T with 295/50/15's.. They were mounted on 8" ProStars and had a good bit of clearance at the frame with 3 1/2" backspace. No rubbing of the fenders with airbags. (Lips were not rolled).. They would have rubbed slightly without the bags...

I run 295/50/15 on a 15 x 8 with 4" backspace : no fitment problems.

pictures please...

Can you send me some pictures of you car with the stock t rims and the 295x50x15's? I'm trying to decide between 275's and 295's. You also said it rubbed a bit, is that on the frame or on the fender lip? I was thinking about going with eibach springs on my car as well. Also, are you running 235x60x15's on the front? Thanks, Gabe

Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately I sold the car to a fellow named Chris Green in St. Louis. I don't know if he is on here or not.
