295/65r15

[MauDeuce50]

Just thought I would share this because I have never seen this tire on a TR before. Just put 295/65r15s (30x12.50x15) on my 87 T and somehow they fit! Car doesnt have rolled lips or a notched frame. Lots of air in the airbags and 1/4 inch spacers is all that it has. They fit but they are VERY tight at the front of the wheelwell. Just thinking maybe this would help someone out at some point.

Wow, I got 290/50 s in mine and I thought it was stuffed!

I've run 295/50-15 Hoosier QT's with Moog cargo
Coils at stock height as well.

I get 11.614in. when I take 295mm divided by 25.4mm/ in. Maybe he's got them on a really wide wheel? Lol

To the OP, good info.

Suprisingly only on an 8 inch rim. It's very close everywhere but I drove around the neighborhood with them and no signs of rubbing

What is the backspace on the 8 inch rim ?

I'll have to check tomorrow, I believe it is 4 inch though

Looks like you did a little more than that

It must have been a block at a time w/ a 15psi launch at each one.

Ok so drove the car a lot today and the tires rub a little on hard bumps and turns but nothing major.

We need to go check the kill section! Maybe he's been racking up the wins on these meats!
