265 fit on stock rear rim?
#16
Is the width of the wheel also a factor? I tried the tire calculator and did not see an inputs for wheel width. (don't tires stretch on wider rims giving it a lower tire sidewall.Right or wrong?) What If I have a 19x10 for the rear and use a 285/30 won't that have a smaller OD as to a 19x9 on a 285/30? Any formula for this?
Also what would a 285 sidewall look on a 19x10 rim?
Straight?
Slanted?(stretched)
chunky?(due to too much rubber)
Thanks

Note - Cross section is the widest part of the tire, not the tread width.
Therefore, tires mounted on a wheel that is too wide, stretched, would not change their OD, but, would lose air if they could not make a seal with the wheel's bead.

The speedometer doesn't affect resale. The odometer does. While the 285 is only going to add 0.8 miles per hundred miles traveled initially, as the tire wears down it will be farther off. The OEMs are held to tight standards for odometers, but not speedometers. Honda got badly beat up for inaccurate odometers at one point.
So, regardless of wear, the smaller diameter tire will show higher mileage for the same distance traveled. If resale is important to you, it would be wise to know this before slapping on a set of tires in an alternate size. Again, 2% is considered fair enough and a 285/30 is well within 1%, so it's not unreasonable to run a 285. If you have enough rim, you'd definitely be better off with the 295 for the long run.

Based on how the speed sensors work....
