Maximizing BFG Radial T/A Traction

On the street;
275/60s want a wider rim, that's why normal pressure is lifting the edges and puckering the first inboard treadband.
I use the 85% rule;
a 275 is 10.8 section (275/25.4=10.8); and wants a .85x10.8=9.2" rim; rounds to 9", if you can find one. I used an 8.5 which then works out to 8.5/10.8=78.8% too narrow but what can you do. A 10" rim would be 10/10.8= 92.6% which is too wide, probably pretty hard to install.
With the proper rim width, you will be able to raise the pressure back into a safe street pressure, altho I have gotten used to 24 in my 295s on 10s...
And if you run a tire on a too-narrow rim, with too low a pressure, I have found that it likes to eat the two treadbands first inboard from the edges; not the outermost. And if you get the tire up to higher MPH,It will try to grow and burn off the center 3
And if you run it at too high a pressure, it will burn off the center three.
When you get down to 24psi, the tire, on a narrow rim, in a corner, will roll over onto the sidewall, which, the first time you feel it, is freaky! I have gotten used to it,lol
But 275 BFGs are too skinny for a 440 anyway. 295s can be fit into a 68 Barracuda tub no problem; and I was thinking the Duster has the same tubs, but I don't know that for sure.
IMO, the widest tire for an 8" rim is 8/85%= 9.4section, which is 9.4x 25.4=239 in metric speak; so a 235. Guys put 245s on those and lower the pressure some to get away with it.
Hope this helps
Thank you... I appreciate the info. I have stock tubs and leafs are re-located inboard. A 295/50 BFG is 26.6" diameter. It would fit if I mounted it on an 8"... but will rub the inside tub wall on a 10". Not interested anyway. It Looks like a skateboard wheel in the Duster wheel well. A 295/55 MT ET S/S or a 275/60 Nitto 555R will fit and are around 28" diameter but more importantly both manufacturers say an 8" is acceptable for their tire. Unfortunately I haven't found anyone making 15" Mopar Rallye wheels in a size between 8" and 10" or I would get some. That's why I'm presently looking at ditching the BFGs in the rear. A 275 street legal drag radial like the 555R or ET S/S will support a mild 440 and then some.
