will a 275 series tire fit on a 10.5" rim?
specifically, will a 275/35/19 bridgestone so3 fit on a 10.5" wide rim or will that be stretching it? i hate the look when the tire is too big for the rim and it bulges out. if a 275 wont work, whats the optimal tire size for a 19x10.5 that corresponds to a 245/45/18? thanks.

The diameter is about the same as you are using on the front, but you may want to consider the 285 if you can fit it, again, depending on your tastes. You also may want to match the sidewall look of your fronts, for uniformity.

By the way, I have the SO3's on my ride as well, the SO3's are a design that curves inward on the sidewalls, not a vertical sidewall like other brands. This curve will also make the tire appear more stretched. I had 285 P Zeros and thought I could go down and not look stretched at all. If I would have went with the 285 SO3's it would have been perfect.

What size tires front and rears do you have currenlty? You have 8.5 fronts and 10" wide in rears right?
My old set up rubbed like crazy, so I went down one size to fix the rubbing issue. But after buying a different brand tire, I could definitely have stayed with the wider sizes with running the SO3's, just due to the design of the sidewall.
Bit, no rubbing at all now. I have the Tein FLex, lowered pretty low, less than a finger of gap. I do have my fender wells trimmed, which I had done before with the wider tires and still rubbed.

I wish I had someone local who had Tein Flex - how do you think they compare to Tein HA's, any idea?
