I dont like streched look at all, my kumho ku31 285s were pretty streched, the invo 305s are flush on my rim atm.

Got them for $290 each at St George tyres.

U got plenty of room up the back mate.

That tyre is way too big for the rim. Outside and inside  inch of tread doesn't even touch the road. My 285 invo on a 10 is flat at the edge . More rubber on the road with the smaller tyre

 

FAIL.

The same thing happened when I put 255's on the stock mags. Dropping the pressures to about 20 psi helped though but that's only good for going straight.

Yeah right,

Well considering its literally 2mm max past the rim edge and the contact patch of the tyre is pretty much all the way across id say your wrong.

Ohh and tyre not mounted has the exact rounding on the edges.

One way to check is to roll it through water when it is at correct pressure and mounted on the vehicle.

Pressure at 38 atm, 25 sidewall is chit

and hope that the water sticks to every surface? wouldn't some wet water-based paint do a better job to stick to the surface?

No. Water will be fine.

Min manufacturer rim size for that tyre is 10.5.  Recommended 11

 

FAIL and possibly illegal.

Care factor..... zero.

Now go do something constructive
