Thanks man!

So, it seems that your tire is about .32'' wider then the rim and you are happy with the setup.

I guess I should be Ok with 9'' on the 245s then? Based on your measurements, the tire would be about .64'' wider than the rim.

I agree, the best solution would be to buy wider tires but my 245s are almost new and I am trying to avoid buying another set.

Btw, your wheels look sweet!

275 millimeters = 10.8267717 in <-- This is what I'm running on a 10.5" wheel and it looks perfect.

You can kind of see how it looks but its hard to tell. The actual wheel is a little bit further out then the tire. Its much easier to curb rash the wheel.

I would honestly go with a 255 on a 9.5"
