Is this even possible? According to charts at tire manufacturer's, it is possible, but 255 seems awfully skinny for a 10" wide wheel.

any pics out there of a 255/35/20 on a 10 inch wide wheel?

I think that would be stretching it personally....I have 255-35 on 8.5" wheel up front that IMO that's kinda narrow.

I have a 245 on a 9 inch wheel and it's a bit of a stretch. I have some pics I took a while back to show how stretched it is, and the pics don't do it justice. I'll add a pic of my rear tire/wheel for comparison.

Front 245/40/18:




Rear 285/35/18:

Why go so narrow put some big meaty tires underneath it.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I am getting a KILLER deal on some 255/35/20 Gforce KDWs. Its a set of 4. I am just going to keep two for my fronts and sell the other two and put that $$ toward some 275/35/20s or 295/30/20s

So.....I will give someone an awesome deal on two, BRAND NEW Gforce KDWs tires.....

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't do it. It'll look and ride terrible. 275 is the skinniest I'd go on a 10" wheel.
