I have pictures of that on my car with 275/30R20's 285's fit better on the 10" wheel, the rest regarding offset has to do with internal rubbing inside the wheel well, mainly with suspension linkages if I am not mistaken. You would see rubbing on the inside of the tire. And some people have shown pictures of it stripping the tire down to the wire. So premature tire wear.

I guess 275/30 would be the smallest I would go on a 10" rim, 265's will likely not fit the rim itself due to sealing issue. I guess that would translate to less tire flex on hard turns? The 35 aspect should help with tire flex in that case.

What's interesting is on Atturo's website they say the 285/30 is good for a 9.5" - 10.5" wheel, but the narrower (and taller) 275/35 is good for a wider range of wheel width, from 9.0" - 11.0"... I'm assuming due to the taller sidewall being able to reach the wider/narrow rim...

Either way, a 10.0" wheel is right in the middle of both tires recommended wheel width...





I don't think they rim will stick out beyond the sidewall of the tire on the 275/35's on a 10.0" rim...
