Don't reply unless u r running this specific size tire under your 68-72 A Body Cutlass, Chevelle etc...
Give your rim size also.

Hi Manny
I've never run this exact size so I didn't respond to your last message. The way you worded it seemed a little harsh.
But I have run 295/50/15's on 15X10" rims and the tires rubbed on the inside when I cornered hard or drove into a downtown parking lot, across the ramp over the sidewalk which caused the body to roll. I have also run 275/50/15 on the same 15X10 wheels and didn't have any problems with them rubbing. The wheels were custom built with zero offset, the center of the wheel was right at the center of the outer ring. I'd encourage you to take measurements considering the body roll before mounting these tires. John
