the oem tire looks too small for the stock rims already.....why would you want to make it bulge more? Your gonna get some serious curb rash.

they will fit with ease.. but you will stretch the tire... and it should cover the whole rim not like some crazzy drifters i know with 215s on 9.5 in rims..so you dont have to worrry about curb rash unless you actually hit a curb..

i got 245s ion a 9.5 inch rim and it barely stretches..

well, 9.5" will work and probably a wider rim... but good luck trying to get a 10.5" on the back of your car.

Why not just get wider tires?
