They literary don't make any tires for a 15x10 inch rim anymore, a 265 would only come in a 60-70 series sidewall. The tires will be stretched but its gonna help my tire clearance issue. As it is right now, ive got 205/50 in the front with a tiny bit of stretch.

I know it seems illogical and I don't encourage anyone to follow my lead but its the only option I have besides selling the rims or paying upwards of 900 dollars for 2 new tires tha are replicas of the ones on there now, and have a 180 tread wear rating.

People out there have gone as far as stretching 185/50's onto 15x10 rims, heres a shot of exactly what ill be looking at
