Will 295-40-20 fit my car

[ZYAL8R]

1973 Camaro, stock fenderwells. I allready have 20's on the back with 255/35/20 but it is just not enough tire for me. The rims are 20 coy's 8.5 wide what do you guy's think?

[molyorange 77]

8.5 inch wheel is to narrow for that size of tire, The 295-40-20 BFG KDW has a section width of 12" on a 10.5" wheel

In my opinion height wise it should fit.... no prob..... but u said u had 8.5 dont 295mm tires need at least a 9" rim i could be wrong... and 295 is like 11.5" wide too so be carefull mught be pushing it....... i was lookin at that size tire too..... but they guys at the tire shop said i would be pushing it so i got a 275/40/20 but thats not enough for me neither my cars just too big........ y dont u get those Mickey thompson radials the 32x18" 20" rim tires i wish i could LOL

I was just talking to a buddy of mine that works at a tire shop that suggested a 275-45-20. He also said that the 295 would probably be pushing it on the width.

yeah i think that is the tire i am running 275 45 20 or 40 series not 100% my cars in tha garage right now n its about 700ft away from where i am at LOL so ill check later today but its about 29" tall..... its okay buts it not wide enough for me.....

You sure a 275/45/20 isn't pushing it, height-wise? That's a pretty tall tire.

IMO, that is too tall, unless you are going for that raked look.

This is the exact look I am going for

Chris, I think the max you can go on the 8.5 would be 275/40/20. You would need a 10 for the 295. I like the look of the car you posted. are they 295s?
I'm running the 295s on my car with a 20x10.

Hey Tim,

Those are 295's and thats the look I want. The width is not so much a factor for me as the sidewall. So I am going to try a set of 275/45/20. I dont think they will rub and the only people that ride in the back are my 2 girls.

[killerzracing71]

im running...... 275/45/20 its about 29" tall n yeah a 295 needs 10" rim so go for it man thats wut i got on my car ill take new pics soon its too cold outside and ive been sick for tha past 4 days lol

That looks terrible. Just my opinion.

That is what you get when you morph the 80s stinkbug look with pro-touring I guess. As usual I agree with you Andrew.

[zbugger]

Doesn't look too bad to me, but that's just me. To each his own.

ZYAL8R, If I remember correctly, that car has a mini-tub. It'll be a REALLY tight fit with those size tires. If you know anyone with that size, see if they can mock them in the wheel well for you.
