If the car is going to sit that low, there is no way to get the 295/50's in there without narrowing the frame and tubs.
I had 275/60's on 8" wheels with 5-1/2" backspacing on my '67 years ago, and they would scrape the fenders with slightly sagging original springs. That was before I trimmed the fender lip and the wheelwell molding, though, so I don't know how low you could go with some minor mods.
255/60's on 8" wheels with 5-1/2" backspace would be a lot easier.
