Tire width on 8" rim

They look damn good on there. How are you liking that setup?

I know the goals for drag-oriented cars are a bit different but for handling purposes, you usually wouldn't want anything larger than a 255 or so on an 8" wide wheel. Are you noticing any extra sidewall roll under cornering? I suspect that if you compared how the car drove with the same tires and a 10" wide wheel, the handling would be much improved...but that may not be what you're looking for.

I just posted about putting 295 60 d15 hoosier quicktimes on my 68 fastback , "looks great" . They are designed for 8-10" wheels , Hoosier even has the section width measurements for an 8" wheel in their nominclature .
I don`t have room for more than 12" section width, was some effort to get that , w/o any tubbing---wish I could post pics, but it wont work for me, phone pics only.
