You make no sense at all. You're currently running 275s on a 10" wide rim, so why would upping to 295s increase the "stretch look."

if you want a stretched look on 295 tires, you'd prolly need a 12.5" or bigger rim as a 295 is 11.6" more or less

Please excuse my bluntness. If you current tires are not stretched how is wider tires on the same rim going to be stretched? Do u even know wat stretched means? If your gf is a fat *** busting out of her jeans and she gets fatter do her pants get loser?

Yeah you're not gonna get any type of stretch with a 295 on 10'', just for emphasis.

jesus all im sayin is i want a good 295 thats not reduculous fat so my car doesnt look like a fukin drag car. i understand that the bigger you and wider you go the loss or low profile you get. i just dont know the exact profile i need to not make it too bulky. again the only reason why im asking. im not a tire guru just wanna make sure i get the right size for the rim.,...........

Check out what others are putting on a 10 inch wheel. If you like the looks go for it.

This is a 305/35/18 on a 10" wheel. If you want a 295 then go with a 295/35/18.
