I think width will be your biggest issue. They'll definitely fit on the rear but I'm not sure on the fronts.

Welcome to the site! I have family right up there near you in Hickory

im gonna assume you ment 295/50. the tires will only be .3" taller but tread width goes from 7.7 to almost 10" lock your wheels and measure it with a tape measure and see if you have the extra clearence. i also wouldnt run a 295/50 on a 8" wide rim, definitely step up to a 10" even though i know they say that you can run a 295 on a 8" your pushing it.

im pretty sure they were 295 60 or 65 is what i looked at but i could be wrong and the main reason im getting them it a tire dealer near me has a deal on used tires for 70buck mounted and bal. and my tires have barley 2/32 tread left if that so i really need some haha but im more worryed about them rubbing them fitting on the rim conidering i will only have them till i get the 17in svt rims im looking at buying
