My rears are the same width but I've got 255 on them and they look perfect. Which is interesting. I wonder if I'll stop spin in 1st with some slightly bigger.

I always imagined they would look odd

 

255 is really the narrowest size you should fit on a 10" rim going up to 285 being the widest.

Here is a usefull guide along with a tyre calculator

 

You should use the tyre calculator to get the correct profile to keep the rolling radius close to o/e, http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator.htm
