Default Pics of 285 rears.

Can anyone who is running 285 in the back post some pics of how they look in relation to the wheel well. I just installed 285's on a 10" rear rim and am really surprised with how tightly they fit in the wheel well. I'm wondering if I by chance got sent the wrong wheels (incorrect offset?)

18". But that shouldn't matter as far as a relation in width to the fender right? I just want to see how the width of a 285 compares to the edge of the fender.

it matters. not only that, but who manufactured the tire matters as well, as they all have they own 'versions' of each size.

You can see they are pretty much flush with the fender

Hmmmm. Think I need to make a phone call then. I have fr500's with a 285 rear tire. My tires stick out about 1/4" beyond the fender. I'm starting to think they sent me wheels for a New Edge.

Here are my 285/35/19's right after lowering it a year ago.
