Those would look really stretched and exceed the minumum recommended wheel width. 285 is the recommended limit for the Sport Rays rear wheels.

They wouldnt be stretched...they would bulge. And 285 is the maximum, not minimum. Someone needs to get some sleep haha

Buldge/stretch same thing. Just stretching in the other direction.

I was refering to the 305/315 series. 9.5" wheel isn't wide enough for that tire. For a 305 series, the wheel width range is 10"-12". Hence, 10" (minimum) exceeds 9.5". Thats why "285 is the recommended limit for the Sport Rays rear wheels"

I have 315's on 20x11+15. The guy who put them on basically said that's the most tire you're fitting back there without doing some work.
