The tire that the factory installed on the 15" x 8" wheel is 225/50R15. That's the tire that was installed by the factory on the GTS Panteras with the 15 x 8 Campys in the front. The widest tire you can fit in a narrow body wheel well with "minimal" rubbing is a 245 section, but those should be mounted on a 9" wide wheel. A 295 section tire will rub too much. But just as importantly, it is not a good fit on the 8" wide wheel.
A rule of thumb, the width of a tire's tread should never exceed the width of the wheel it is mounted on.
