CCW wheel owners - rear tire size question

[johnsgto]

Is anyone running a tire either larger or smaller than a 275 on the rear of their 10" CCW wheels. Would a 265 fit on these 10" wheels? I am thinking about buying a set of the SP500's and wanted to know what experiences other forum members have had with tires other than the 275?

I have SP500's, and i would think that a 265 would look to stretched out to fit the wheel...as for a 285,..i think you would have fitment issues, like rubbing, even with shaved or rolled fenders. It seems like the 10" wheel and 275's is about as big as you can go....? Also i am selling my SP500's,..they are anodized black. $2000 for 4 wheels, minus tires.

I have some SP500s and I'm running 285s in the back, I have my fenders cut and I had to hammer the inside of the wheel well a little because I would still hear some rubbing noises. I took the wheels off and I saw where it was rubbing. I need to get my rear cradle aligned, I expect that after that happens there wont be any more issues :)

Like the post above, I'm running 285 on 505A. Pedders 5/16" raise spring takes care of lot of fender lip rub, but you would still want to roll the lip at least 50% or cut them. The springs also help in the rear squat problem and you will love them. The main problem using 285 is the inner fender and you will have to hammer in the inner fender around 10 to 11 o’clock position also have to trim part of the plastic inner fender on the left side and 1 to 2 o'clock position on the right side.

265 is too narrow for 10" rim.

I think it also depends alot on the brand of tire your running. My 275 PS2's don't have as much of a rolled edge as say a Toyo. With the Pilots I had to cut the fenders and beat the inner wheel well a bit to stop rubbing. I also need a cradle alignment, the passenger sit rubbed like a bitch before the cuts.

Um, John, I already have SP500's, so you can't get them too!!! :rant:

Don't go below 275. 265 is too small for a 10" rim. I have 275 on mine, so I can't help you with any 275+ issues I've found.
