Wheel Sizes - Battling Everyones Dilemma

[JMF]

Anyone running 295/65/15's on the rear ?

I have some 15 x 8 Centerlines with 5" backspace , you think they would rub or be ok ?

Pretty sure it's only Mickey Thompson who sell this size now , BFG no longer do them

I know 50 profile is more common for 295's but they are too short for my liking, I prefer the taller 65 profile

Thanks

So i finally managed to try some wheels i have on the Charger so please can I get people's opinions on whether you think the 295/65's will fit or not ?

So in the pics these are 15 x 8 Centerlines with 5" backspace and 275/60/15's

Ideally I will be using these wheels

Width wise I have quite a lot of clearance and good clearance on the top section of the tire where it goes towards the inner arch and the Charger "bulge"

But the only bit that worries me is the gap between the front of the rear tire and the rear quarter, see first pic

I was struggling to get an accurate measurement but I think it's about 1.5" , possibly a little bit more

So I think when the 295/65 is fitted its going to be about 1/2" gap because they have an extra 1" sidewall compared to these 275's

I will try again at the weekend with some vernier callipers I have to get a more accurate measurement of that gap

I know the 275's are a popular choice for many but they still look too small to me in the Charger arch , and I don't like 295/50's either because they are too short and not much sidewall so 295/65 is the kind of look I like

295/60 would probably be a perfect size but it doesn't look like anyone makes those

I did consider 255/70 as it has the larger sidewall what I like but they are narrower obviously than the 275's

Thanks for any advice
