Its only my opinion but I think the "stretched tire look" looks terrible...I personally like it to be flush with the rim or even stick out a little bit further.

He will have almost an inch.

I have noticed the "aggressive wheels and stretched tire" folks have one main thread going - it's like their little "please accept us" cult. Properly-sized wheels and tire guys have thousands of threads in the competition, drag, and autox/track forum. Just sayin'.

How much wiggle room will he have on the fender side? I'm trying to figure out if I am able to shove a 305 on 18*10+25. I may have to go with 295

I think there is room, but it may be close and require a roll. I run a 10mm spacer on a 19x10.5" +43 wheel with a 305/30/19 PS2 tire. If that were a 10" wheel, it'd be the same, on the outside, as a 10" +27. One thing to keep in mind is that a 305 tire is properly-sized on a 10.5" wheel minimum. See if you can find/buy a corded 305 for fitment. That's what I've done in the past to maximize tire size on our 3 Zs.

Glad that didn't turn into a bunch of e-thugging, as that was not my intent. Cheers.

^That's great info. Being the anti stretch person that I am, I feel like I'm stretching with a 275 on 10.

IMO, 275 on a 10" is right at the limit. It's all somewhat tire dependent, however, I know that the 275 on a 10.5" starts to look a little stretched to me, and I don't like it.

Numbers- Can be used for good and evil.

I like the pudge on my 275 on the 9" up front... so 275/9= 30.56mm/inch.
Given that ratio 30.56*10"= a 305 on the 10"
