A 255 should fit from 8.5" to 10" so you should be fine. 285 is usually on 10" or 9.5"

Just checked. It's a 10.5" so 255 = no?

If it makes any difference the tires on there are 285/30zr20 and the ones I'm looking at are 255/35zr20

285/30R20 = 10-11" Rim Width Range
255/35R20 = 8.5-10" Rim Width Range

If yours are 10.5...I would say no.

It'll stretch a little bit, it'll be fine. Considering what others have done (215 on a 9" wheel anyone?) a .5" stretch isn't much.

Thanks a bunch!

Just ordered from JC whitney - they're awesome if you find the right tire/size for your need. I paid $657(tax, duties included) shipped to my door, whereas the same tires from tire rack shipped to PR were the same price(not including tax/duties/ time to drive there).

Did you take advantage of the 15% off purchase of $150 or more coupon?
Or the free shipping on orders over $75? (probably only works for shipping within USA only)

FML I forgot to check for coupons. They only allow one promo code so I got the free shipping one for now. I'm gonna call in and get them to apply the 15% deal instead.

Just got off the live chat from their website and I gotta say they have great service. Easily accessible without having to email/call and they put in the new code without question.
