Someone else had something like that off tirerack, and he was flamed by me and a few people for being a moron. Idk though, if it says this either theyre retarded or they run extremely small, like nitto 315s or something. As much as I want to say its a bad idea to try a tire that size, I would suggest getting them and putting them on then taking pictures. You should be able to see the bulge if its a true 295, because a 295 tire is like 12inches wide lol. So measure it when you get them and take pics

I tried to order those last year and they werent available...I ended up with the M&H 275 55 R16 Drag Radials...They measure 28x10 and fit the 16x8 wheel nicely....They hook very well and are lots lighter than then M/Ts...They do run a bit narrow but they are a nice and I think the only other alternative for a 28" DR for a 16" wheel...Jegs has them for $195ish/each...

Well I got the tires today. I have to send one back because it was cut badly. Woowwwwwww these things are massive. They are 12" and almost 28" tall. I can't wait to see the differences between the M/T 295's and the BFG's 255's. BTW these are going on a chrome snow flake wheels!!!!!!!1

They look pretty good. I have the 315/45/16 but haven't had a chance to try them out. If I need the extra inch of height I probably will try out the ones you have.

If those 295s are 12inches wide, then I don't see how its safe to run that on a 8inch rim...? Unless im missing something

It's a drag tire with a big 6" sidewall. 8" wheel will be fine.
