- one on that, check with the manufactures specs for the tire & the size. look at the tread width dims. they vary ALOT between manufactures at a given metric size. a 265 for X company might be 9.5" wide where a 265 for y company might be 10.25" wide. ---

275 is a 10 inch wide tire approx so anything under that would technically give u a stretch (this is not gonna be true for every tire though), i had 265s on a 10 and u could tell it was a stretch up close but it didn’t look stretched at all. for the front u would have to go w a 215 or 205 as 225 would be an 8 inch tire approx. ---

I’m thinking you want to keep as much rubber on there as possible, but then again you’ve changed the offset and you have to take a hit somewhere to make those big ass rims work, lol! ---

If you guys are going to do this bullshit, at least go for a serious stretch so it looks like you meant to. The pics in this thread look like you just cheaped out and picked whatever tire was on sale. 195 on 10" or stop being queers. ---
