Yes, it does fit, it is tight though. I think it is the smallest size recommended for a 10.5. I just ordered wheels with this setup. I might switch to a bigger size though, just have to see how much room i have so that there is no rubbing. But yes it does fit.

Default Any pictures??

I'm a bit concerned about the gap between the tire and the fender on the rear, since the combination will be a few mm shorter the the OEM set up. I do not want to lower my car.

I have this setup, and my care is lowered. The answer is yes, it fits no problems, and it looks great.

Your gap will be slightly more than normal with the wheels PUYA, if you dont want the gap, just get springs that lower a small amount. I have the tein s techs which only do .7" front and .6" rear. Or get bigger tires! If I have room, I might switch to a 295/30 19 in the rear if it will fit fine without rubbing

Maybe it's a new fad or something, but I just never understood why you'd want that narrow of a tire on that size wheel. I'd much rather have a little bead of protection for the rim and stick with a 295 size (which aestetically fits the wheel better anyways).

on a 10.5 I would go with a 285 or 295, 275 will be pretty stretched on a 10.5 which will leave your lips exposed to curbs and potholes if the road aren't bad where you live then you can get a way with it

I kinda did it on accident. I thought that the 275mm (10.82")width was the tread instead of the tire at it's widest point on the sidewall.

I'm definitely getting 285's or 295's to replace them when they wear out if they have any decent selections in those sizes.

$2,000 with EDFC. If I remembered correctly we set it 1.75" drop.
