Default help with 10inch rim

hey guys, i could only get my 10inch wide rim in a zero mm offset. can anyone tell me how far they will probably stick out from under the truck. according to the guy at discount tire because it sticks out i had to run a smaller tire. i wanted to run 285's but he told me i could only run 275's without serious rubbing. he told me i would have to trim plastic even with the 275s. any opinions???????

ok, the rims have 0 offset which means i have even backspacing(5 front/5rear). i wanted to run285/50/18's but the guy at discount told me that it would rub too bad and i would have to run275/60/18.

the 285-50-18's will fit fine. it is 29.3" tall and has a section with of 11.7
the 275-60-18 is allmost 2 inchs taller and has a section with of 10.9
i think that guy is full of if you ask me. i sell wheels and tires. and don't see any problems with it fitting

Actually, the 0mm offset gives you a 5.5" backspace. Neither tire is going to clear the fender lip - the wheel just doesn't have enough backspace. Although, you will have more clearance, before that fender lip reaches the tire, with the 285

You're not gonna come close to the inner fender well. The outer is a different story.

went to discount to talk to the guy some more about the wheels. he showed me a 20in wheel with the same tire size and 10mm offset and told me it would fit with little trimming so i would have to do just a little more and it will be the outer part of the fenderwell plastic that i will be having to trim. he said we would test fit them when they came in and if it wasnt doable then we'd work something out. i guess thats all i really wanted to know, that i wasnt screwed if they didnt fit. thanks for all your help guys

You're gonna put a 10" wide wheel on the front? I wanted to do that, too, but I could not come up with a backspacing that I felt comfortable with where I wouldn't have interference problems.

So I went with 8.5" front and 10" rear
