MT street radial tire ???

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.

Typically, the section width will change .2" for a .5" change in wheel width. The manufacture will give a section width spec. at a certain wheel width. Hope this helps.

Thanks maxi426, I will probably use that if no one else chimes in.
I would really like to get a real world spec.

This is what I found w/ my tires & rims:
The 295/65 mounted on an 8" rim has a section width right about 12"; it would be closer to 13" if mounted on a 10" rim.

The 275/60 mounted on an 8" rim has a section width right at 11" and it will gain close to an inch in section width spread out on a 10".

IIRC, the "rule of thumb" for section width changes is approx. 1/2" per 1" in rim width.

please define what "section width" is in reference to tires

Section width is the distance between the sidewalls when the tire is mounted & inflated on a particular size rim. It's NOT the tread width.
