If you're gonna run ET streets on that 10bolt, be prepared to get a new one, stay with the street tires for now.

Well to answer your question you can use a 9.5 wheel and a 275 tire. MT did just released a 315 ET Street, which I fit 315 bfg DR's on my 9.5 wheels but im not sure how the MT's will size up till I try them. Good luck.
