Hi Carl..

Personally, I would fit a 275 to a 10j wheel, possibly go upto 285.

Just my opinion :)

I have 9.5's with a 265 tyre, so i would agree with gumball, 275 - 285 sounds about right. :)

what wheels u got on at the mo? thinkin of sellign them?

There dare 5 spokes as in my pic & yes they will be up for sale

I'd fit a 285 35

 

I have just fitted 275 to my 9.5" wide rears and they fit perfectly (I had 265s before and just looked wrong). Now have a nice flat tyre wall, no ugly stretching. On a 10" wheel, I'd fit no narrower than a 285 with a 35 profile.

Imho 275/35/18

Try this for comparing tyre sizes with std wheels/ tyres or for aftermarket wheels. Will also give you the recommended rim with for a given tyre size. It allows you to compare so that your speedo remains accurate

275 will be stretched slightly on a 10" rim.285 will look right for the wheel.
