Looking for a 285/30/20 tire for test fit

Does anyone know where in So Cal I can get one for a test fit?

Or if anyone has one that they don't want anymore, I can take it off your hands. I want to do an experiment to see if I can get this size tire will fit on a 10" wide wheel in the back of my 07 sedan. It doesn't matter what brand either.

As you know, tire shops don't let you return tires if they do not fit on the car.

Thanks!

You might rub depending on the offset of your wheels.

Sedan offsets are high I think it might be easier to find a 275/30 or 35 tire and try that to see how close you are with your wheels.

Try a used tire shop since 275 is more popular than 285 they might have one waiting to be disposed of.

I'm getting custom wheels made so a custom offset is not a problem.

275/30/20 is a piece of cake. There are several in the forum already. I want to see if I can do the 285/30/20. The problem is used 20" tires are hard to come by. I know the 285 is pretty popular with the coupes, so I thought I would try here first.

If I can't get the 285 in there, I'll go with crowd and do the 275.
