I just got my 285/35/19's mounted on my rear wheels 19x10.75 +15mm offset and the mechanic who put on the tire said it doesn't look right, is this normal for the tire to look like this? or did he not put it on right or something?

285's should fit a 10.75 width rim correct?

I would say yes if the following is true:
1. Does the tire hold up to 40 psi of air?
2. Is it beaded?
3. Does the tire have full contact with the road?
4. Will it fit when its mounted on your car?
if the answer is yes, then sir, you are good to go.

285 on a 10.75 is called a "stretch" you are flexing the sidewall of the tire when you stretch it. Its a baby stretch though. nothing extreme like some people out there. im running at 275 series on my 10.5.. Theres no major issues.,

Go to the tire manufacturer website and find the specs of your tire in that particular size. One of the columns will show you recommended range of wheel widths. If your wheel width is over the maximum value, it can be considered stretched.

285/35 is a very slight stretch on a 10.5 , you have a hair more. No big deal, there is nothing to worry about.
Your 285 is a narrow tire, not all 285's are equal.
