Discontinued :cry: Sucks because one of them has some nasty road rash and I would like to replace it, not sure if it is repairable. They are getting painted soon though :) Thanks BTW.

Gonna have to call BS on the 10" wide wheels until you take some measurements. 245s would be pushing it on that wide of a wheel and your tires don't look stretched at all.

You can do the conversion all by yourself!
245mm/1 * 1cm/10mm * 1inch/2.54cm = 9.64inches
Close enough to 10, so sue me. It was a guesstimation off the top of my head.
Also maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the tires don't look stretched because the tires themselves are 245s, as are the rims. Take a look at the pics yourself.
 
Those wheels still aren't 10 inches wide, I don't care what tire you have or how you calculated it. 2gs are hard pressed to fit 8.5" wide wheels in the fenderwells without them sticking out or rubbing, let alone a 10" wide wheel. Until you take a tape measure to the RIM itself, you are bullshitting.
 
IIRC tires are measured at the bead (can't remember if it's inner or outer that matters). All i know is that while my tires are 235mm (9.2519") wide, the rims themselves are 8" wide, and the tire is nearly straight up/down. (no sidewall bulge, etc). I can see a 245 on an 8-8.5" wheel, but 10" is simply too wide for that narrow of a tire. You need to be into 265-275mm tires before you go to 10" as you'll pop the beads cornering otherwise, due to the lack of force on the bead sidewall.
