I dont think a 275 will fit a 10.5" rim. Thats a lot of space to fill and if you think about it.. a 275 DR fits a 8" rim. You will need atleast 305's or 315's minimum.

I have 10.5 inch wheels with those same tires, the BFG 275 Drag radials and they work fine...

First, how do you put a 225 on a 9 inch rim...

and second, how do you fit a 275 on a 10.5??? I would be scared to drive either!!!
