Great wheels but....

I have new 20x10 rear wheels that came with 275/30 tires. To me the tires seem like they are not wide enough to fit the rim. Is it just me

It's definitely a little stretched, but not horrible.

Yes, the rear is at about 26 ˝" from floor to fender.

I agree with you. Probably better with 285's at least.

Tire stretch is sexy. Just don't over do it.

Unless the car spends most of it's time parked and buffed for photo shoots, I'd just make sure you have tires properly sized for the wheel. Check the tire specs on manufacturer's site before buying.

I bought the set through CarID.com and 275/30s were my only option for the rear tires for the wheels I wanted. Lesson learned I guess.

That's a really mild stretch...... You'll be fine. Just wear those out and get 285s next time.
