on a 10...lol no way on a 10 it would be like 225/45

That sounds like a really bad idea. Goodyear recommends a 7.5 in rim width for a 225/45/19. You should call the manufacturer of whatever tire you go with to see what sizes they would suggest.
I've been looking at a new set of wheels for one of my other cars. BFG, Goodyear and Pirelli suggested I put 285's or 295's on 10" wide wheels

Stretch dude. The 45 sidewalls will make up for that extra 3 inches or so

Stretch? You're gonna pull the beads away from the contact patch? What kind of air pressure will you have to run?
Why wouldn't you use proper tires?

I like you rooster. Let's be friends. Use 1st gens gotta stick together. And yes I realize this. Proper tires would just be too large and not fit the style. I mean, I've seen 225 40s on a 14x12 haha so this isn't that bad at all.

Yea. For function, but like you said, I'm in no way interested in performance.

This is just a question, why would you want to do what you are going for on a performance car? SHOs rev high, and like to stay up there while going at a decent rate of speed. With what you are doing, you might as well have bought a vulcan powered car.

The motor is performance. But everything else is whatever. Same reason I've seen built b16 ek civics being fitted. Cuz it looks very nice. They rev high too, like 10k, and they look good fitted. And the same reason I've seen 700 hp jzx100 drift chassis fitted. It looks really good.

Yea we know, your opinion is all that matters and you're an expert, you don't care about safety, it's all about look and stance.
You have now earned a magnet.
