255 Tire on 10 inch 20's?

ok guys i need some guidance from the zineanites. i have 2005 acura tl bout some staggered sevas for it n on my way to get camber kit n alignment n new tires. Many of my friends is saying its unsafe to stretch a 255 width tire on a 10" rim. so before i make a tire purchase i was wondering if i can get some wisdom from the guys who are riding 20 by 10 in the back. please help me out

I ran it (plus 4 of my friends) in NYC with absolutely no issues...

255/30 is actually a very good fit... cause 255 is the width of the tire thread in milimeters... if you do a simple conversion into inches 255mm/(25.4mm per inch) = 10.04"

You're good to go... have fun with your new wheels...

Are you rolling your fenders for those 10" wheels???? Cause you gonna need it...

ok this is what i end up with. i rolled the fenders n thanks to the guys at autoglitz they came w the tire combo of 245/35's all around. cars runs perfect w the camber kit install n i practically have no camber so my tire life should be way better. thanks for the feedback
