Well, it fits - but the sidewall is like a donut. Resulted in some rear end wobble. As stated, need 9-9.5" width rims for best handling.Originally Posted by MOTOWN
I sure do still drive with them though!!

Initially i ran my 295s on 8" wide wheels , but as stated handling was poor , and it looks so much better on widened wheels, i widened a set to 10" , then another set to 11"

I have those exact tires on my stock rims. ZERO rubbing issues. No wobbling. No problems.

I love the smell of Nitromethane and rubber in the morning!

doesn't look like much, but it hurt handling enough to want to correct it.
My 4 same size tire Crown Vic will destroy the Marauder in corners due to this, mostly.

As stated, don't be fooled. It is alright to drive, but felt an immediate rear end 'baby carriage' feel compared to lower profile tires.
