Thank you scoobum. I think I'm settling on buying some 8 inch rims with four inch back spacing. I can't remember so I don't want to say but I believe the backspacing on the 10 inch rims was 4.5.
Looks like cooper has expanded their cobra tire line. I swear they only sold 225 and 245 back in the day. Earl says 295? Damn son!
If i trim Trim the trim it looks like I won't have a problem with 275 coopers on an 8" rim. Soon I'll be measuring the BS on my current rims. Like I said, I think it's 4.5, that could be my whole problem.
