Re: widest tire on 15x10

One thing that doesn't look like it's been mentioned is that certain width tired are designed to go on certain minimum width wheels. Just because the tire machine will get it on doesn't mean it's right or safe. In a perfect world, you want the edge of the tire tread to be parallel with the edge of the wheel. If you have a 12" tread width and a 15" center section on a 10" wheel. That is not good. Changes how the bead of the tire meets the wheel. really hard on the sidewall too and it will start to crack over time. Just a thought.
