Great wheels but....

I have new 20x10 rear wheels that came with 275/30 tires. To me the tires seem like they are not wide enough to fit the rim. Is it just me

It's definitely a little stretched, but not horrible.

Lexani R-Tweleve
Front 20x8.5 with +20 Offset (Perfect flushed fit. No spacers needed)
Rear 20x10 with +35 Offset (I can still get away with using my 20mm spacers)

Tire stretch is sexy. Just don't over do it.

Unless the car spends most of it's time parked and buffed for photo shoots, I'd just make sure you have tires properly sized for the wheel. Check the tire specs on manufacturer's site before buying.
