Tires square to rim or slightly stretched is faster than pinched. So if 10.5" rim is approaching max for fl5 then 275 or 286 would be max without pinching the tire. Esp for 200 and under TW that run wide anyway.

Just my 2 cents.

You make a good point, but I honestly don't know how much clearance there is. Do you have any idea how much clearance there is with the VS-5RS 10.5" wide wheel?

Apex wheels has a good wheel fitment guide I'm not sure how much more room there is past 10.5.
