I'm probably going to go with a 275/35/20 on the front of a 10" MRR 1LE rim, but if they made a 9" rim I would go with something a little narrower.
Now that I have it on I agree, it is a bit wide. I don't hate it but it does draw my attention to the overhang a bit. I guess I really didn't notice it from the pictures that I saw with these wheels. Oh well, when they are due for replacement I'll drop it to a 275, I'm guessing a 265 would be a bit thin on the 10 inch rim.
