Three Wheelin'
Those are the ones.
Yes, the company I bought them from recommended 275's but almost every tire manufacturer recommends a 295 for a 10.5". 275's are usually for 9.5"s. That was the whole point of my OP, does a 275 or 285 "work" fine on a 10.5" rim? I needed experiences of dos and donts.

HT - just find the wheels you like and start a new thread asking if the wheels will fit you car. What we need is the info about your car (i.e. narrow body or wide body), and teh width and offset of the wheels, both front and rear. We can help you avoid making the same mistake as Tippy and others have made with buying "ill fitting" wheels.
Oh, and as a bonus, some of us will throw in our opinion of the looks of the wheels, good or bad. This additional information will, of course, be a no cost service to you!

Well, the original advertisement said to use 275's, I used 295's because that is what most manufacturers say to run on a 10.5" rim. If you run a 285 in all fairness, it should not rub due to being roughly an inch narrower in the section width. I was more concerned with using the plastic hub spacers, the wheels a thicker flange requiring longer lugs bolts (they did not mention), and the angle of the cones. Only the outer part of the of the lug bolt cone mated. But, the wheels were advertised on a Grey aero 996 and the picture was shot from the right rear corner facing towards the front. The wheels are Ruger RS-5's.
