That does look a little more stretched than usual for a 275-section tire on a 9.5" wide rim... I'm sure its safe - as long as it was mounted and balanced professionally etc. - just looks strange. I'd say, it looks like a 245 mm on a 9.5" from this one pics - not a 265.

if its the same width as oem wheels (9.5" rear) then most on here will go with 275
really it all depends on the width of ur wheel
on a 10" wheel 285 would be a better size to cover it all, 295 will work aswell but that size isnt as common leaving u to pay more
as for the safety of ur wheel having that poked out look
u obviously wont be able to take turns as hard as someone else with fatter tires due to potential slipping... i dont mean just regular turning by any means
i mean like quick sudden, high rate of speed turns most on here wouldnt do regularly
but in either case ull be fine, just watch out for curbs

285's will be hard to find...
I still think that something is off with that pic. I've seen plenty of 275-section F452's mounted on 9.5-wides and never saw one look so stretched.
