10's on c43 in rear?

Does anyone have 10" or wider in the rear of a c43 or 36? If so please include rim size, offset and tire size.
Thanks!

I honestly did not even feel a difference. The ride was a little rougher considering the profile of the tire. I was running 245x35x18 in the rear. I did stretch the tire to make sure that I would not rub. Ran great.
