I think everyone is too stuck on stuffing 275s on OEM 8.5" wheels that they have forgotten how to measure and what the first number is a tire size is....

So I guess you seem to have a different idea of a "full sized" tire than tire manufactures them self.

265/30R19
Section Width: 10.43 in 265 mm
Rim Width Range: 9.5 - 10.5 in
Overall Diameter: 25.25 in 641.35 mm
Sidewall Height: 3.12 in 79.248 mm

Blain, you're really ignoring the fact that different applications require different sizes for the same width.

That's math... 265/30/19 is the proper tire size for a 10" wide wheel. Not that anyone has noticed but a 275 is actually a very mild stretch on a 10.5 wheel yet is considered the absolute go to tire.

Everyone is all about ramming huge tires on thin wheels, buy the right tires if you're going for a full size tire look. There IS a difference between full size and beefy/meaty tires.

Different applications in terms of what? 265mm is over 10" wide. Therefore it is the right size for a 10" wide wheel.

Edit, even though there CAN be more options hence the fact that I am about to run 255s on a wheel that I could easily be running 355s.

There is 3+ inches of sidewall with a 265/30. The section width is almost 11 inches. That is more than enough to seat with a square shoulder which equals the right tire size with no stretch and no bulge.

Who said anything about building a car around wheels? This is simply the right tire on the right width and a wheel that the OP is already interested in.

edit, he mentioned them and I mentioned how they can fit.

I know what you're saying, but full sized sidewall and full sized tires are different things.

50% or more of the guys rolling 19s on here are running 275/30 on a 10.5 because they hate the look of a huge sidewall and want the sporty low profile look. I know you like the big tire beefy look and that's wicked and looks great! But you like the "oem +" look, that isn't for everyone.

It's modified cars, what can be done.... will be and this is very easily done. Is it what the door jamb says? no. But does it work and look good. Yes.

hahaah, no worries man. what got me going was calling Grant's setup mildly aggressive w/full sized tires, it's all about perception. a lot of the cars in the sorta flush thread are actually "flush" but people have made the standard for flush into poked & stretched. a lot of people running what's considered beefy are running smaller than OEM sizes. people are just a bit jaded on stance these days.
