Suggestion
As mentioned above, there are some performance benefits to running a wider rim (up to 10" on 255), but the stretched look and having your rim lips hanging out doesn't look great.
Leading evidence: 'Run wider rim (up' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

use tire rack and put the widest tire you can on what ever wheel you have.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What is acceptable range of tire widths for a 10" wheel vs an 11" width? Common sense says that the 11" tire should be able take a wider tire, however auto tire sizing throws me for a loop because of the flexibility of a wheel to accept many different widths.
Just simply converting 10" to millemeters, I get ~255 width tire, and for 11" a ~280 width tire (1 in = 25.4 mm).
Alright dudes... thanks. I guess I was trying to get at the philosophy behind tire width and the way it relates to wheel width, trying to make it intuitive. I understand that different width wheels will accept different width tires, but how much play is there? The tire looks for a given wheel looks the nicest because everything is filled out, and it gives it that race slicks look. How do I optimize the width of the tire for performance?
Some actually say that a tire that is a size narrower than the widest possible works best. As I understand it, the widest possible tire will have a tread equivalent to the width of the tire, i.e, 11" tire tread for an 11" width wheel. The sidewall stresses will essentially be vertical. But, cornering performance is better and more linear at the edge if the tread is sightly narrower than the wheel width. Hence, Porsche recommends 295/30 rear tires for my car, even though the 11" rims can easily take 315/30. The 315 will probably look better, but corner less well.
One thing to remember is that a 10" wide wheel is actually approx 11" wide from outer lip to outer lip. From a performance and looks perspective, tire width = actual rim width is a great place to be. ie 255 section tire on 9" rim, 295 on 10.5 etc. As mentioned above, there are some performance benefits to running a wider rim (up to 10" on 255), but the stretched look and having your rim lips hanging out doesn't look great. Having the tire on a narrower rim, say 8" allows the tire to squirm around more before the wheel lip and side wall control it.
