Think I've read about people putting that width on, but I would imagine it may stretch the tyres a bit depending on width of tyre. Do a search on here or the American sites :)

Ive gone for 10.5 rears & 9.5 fronts, yours will probably arrive before mine though so you can find out first if they fit :p

wot size tyre goes on a 10.5 inch rim................ 275..../285...??

 

Calculators your friend ;)

Liam I'm not sure that is the right calculator is it for the question? :blush:

 

I would try the one on this link, 2/3 of the way down entitled 'Ideal Rim Width'.

http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html

 

The answer to the original question is both :thumbs: However, Liam's link will tell you what tyres you can use by comparing with stock and not upsetting rolling radius :thumbs: and the answer is either a 275x35x19 or 285x35x19 will work on 19" x 10.5" rims although the 275 will appear more stretched than the 285

I may be wrong but I've seen it said elsewhere that 285s on 10.5" rims may have some rubbing issues so that the arches need rolling. That's certainly the case if your planning to drop it at all.

That may be the case Digsy but not heard it myself - I can confirm that for a standard height a 275x35x19 has no issues at all since that is what I had myself. People tend to go for that size and its usually also a bit cheaper which may be relevant

Can't argue with that. :thumbs:
