P295/50R16 tire fits a rim that is 8.0 - 10.0 inches according to http://www.buicks.net/shop/reference/tires.html and any other tire store that I have talked to.
I have the same rim and I plan on putting 295/45 R16 on my 16X8 rims.

For my 16x8 rims those are going to be for track tires. That is why i was asking

I don't know if the trade-off will be worth it Jonas. I mean, yea, less rotational mass but you are going from a 315 to a 255. I hear the TTM's are pretty light as well. I'd save your money.
Also, a 295 on a 8 inch wheel??
I think it's this way:
8": 235/245/255
9": 265/275/285
295's would be perfect on a 9.5" wheel.

Heres your link. My buddy is running the 275's in a 17 and loves them.
Grab the 275 in a 16" and you'll be happy.

Bigger the better. The wider the more tire to catch traction, capeshe?

A 275/50 or 295/50 will fit on a 16x8 rim? that is crazy... You are running a 26x10.5x16.. So i guess it will work
According to the website.. A 275 will not fit on an 8" wide wheel

If I were to change gear ratio's again with this tire i would go with a 3.90 gear.
