72 Cutlass 15x8 wheels with Mickey ET drag radials

I just bought some Mickey T Drag Radials 295/65/15s for my 72 Cutlass. The wheels will be mounted on a 15x8 wheel with a 4 inch BS. Will I have any issues?


Thanks

Tires and wheels have been installed with no issues. My BS was actually 4 3/4

I will take some pics at this weekends nostalgia show. I don't see how anyone is getting a 15x10 with a 5.5 BS and a 295/65/15 tire in there without rolling or trimming the wheel lip.

My avatar pic is with 15x10 Cragar Super Tricks and a 5" BS. The wheels are 30x9 Hoosier Drag Radials with a 12.1 Section Width on the 15x10 rim. The quarter lip just touches the side wall with the Hoosier setup, but it works for drag racing and not street driving

Pics have been added. The rear springs are new Moroso drag springs and the front tires are 28" Mickey ET Sportsmans. The fronts still look too small height wise for my taste.
