That's just getting into some sketchy territory. It puts a tonne of stress on the bead.
You have photos of the 265/30 on 11.5?
Going from 265/30 to 245/35 there is 20mm of spread tread width but a total of 12.6mm less vertical stretch. Basicially relates to nearly a inch more stretch on the 245/35 than the 265/30 since the tread does not need to pull as far to seat.
Sidewalls are what you want to be stretching, not the tread width. The sidewalls are what keep the rigidity of the tire, the tread and contact patch is much weaker.

^ So Edafe would you say 245/35 on a 11.5 is fine?
Thanks fellas for the truthful opinions & facts I guess it comes down to if I can fit those damn tires haha so what is an equivelant tire stretch to a 245/35 on 10.5 for an 11.5? If I can get some solid statements from the members that push the envelope and say the 245 is fine on the 11.5 I'll start posting my wheels fs but I don't want to be unsafe.. Keep in mind the tires I have are Hankook V12's..
And poor blue Z fack!

Don't get butt hurt GR6RR I asked here because that thread doesn't get as many frequent visitors looking to push the envelope like they do here. If there is any thread to ask about aggressive set-ups it's here
Alright thanks Edafe I'll see what's up Im gonna keep looking to see what the 11.5 on 245/35 looks like mounted & installed..
