[DeTomaso] 265/50-15 tires

[LS]

295 on an 8inch wheel does seem a little extreme.

At least the outside of the tires will never wear out!

Stock is 15x8.   Stock rear tire size originally was 225/70, and later 255/60.

265/50 fits on an 8-inch wheel.   Many people are running 295/50, which is a bit of a stretch on an 8-inch wheel.   Tires that big are much happier on 10-inch wheels.
