MT street radial sizing help?

[onig]

Does anybody run the following MT Street Radial sizes on 10" wide wheels?

• 295/65R15 #3762R
• 275/60R15 #3754R

What I need to know is the section width (widest part of the tire).
I know that MT states that the widest rim is 9.5" for the 275/60, but I am not about to go out and buy new wheels for 1/2". MT will not give me a spec as they said that 10" rim is not recommended for the 275.
As for the 295/65 MT told me that the section width will be "about" 12.5" in section width, I would like a more accurate measurement.

If anybody can help me out I would greatly appreciate it as my current tires are rubbing and I don't want to have the same problem with my new tires.

Can't answer the question on section width from a 9.5 to a 10 rim. It can't be much as it's .25 on each side.

I think i've seen something from M/T that said rims need to be within 1" high/low of tread width. My friends are running 275's on a 10" wheel with no problems. Only goes 10.60 with a small black.

Using a 275/60r15 tire, a 10" wheel is "permitted" but not "recommended.
