now quit being tire police

And please, this is not "pimp my ride". They're called wheels, not "rims".
To the owner: Looks good. It's nice to see more people who don't just buy regulation width and offset, and know that "recomended" rarely means best when it comes to wheels. Everyone else seems to be content with their sunken battleships.

As far as performance, the tires will actuall have less sidewall flex now and be more responsive, but the change is probably not even very noticable either way.

I checked Toyo's site for the Proxies T1-R. For a 275-35-19, the recommended wheel widths are as follows: 9.0-9.5-11.0
He's on the limit but within spec
I do agree that stretching a tire on a wheel that's way too wide is dangerous. I'm suprised that installers even agree to do it at all.
