255 on 10 looks fine I think. 225 on 10 is fcked up sorry.
255 on a 10 isn't a stretch, the tread width is over 10"

I've tracked with 225/45/17 on 9 inch wheels and like it a lot better than 225 on a 8 inch wheel due to the stretch. A small stretch like that stiffens the sidewall a bit more giving you a more "crisp" turn in, but 225 on a 9 inch is about the limit for me.

Here's a 225/45/17 Falken Azenis on a 9 inch wheel:


235/40/17 Nitto NT05 on a 9 inch wheel:

^ On that setup, it is a 245/40/17 yokohama sdrive on a 9.5 inch wheel. Not much stretch in the sidewall at all, but the tread width is stretched from the end of sidewall to the top of the tread.

If it were something like a Falken FK452, it would stretch a lot more than this.

this thread needs to die in a fire, along with your stretched tires and this whole fad
