Did I put the right tires

I am not sure if I put the right back tires the outside ring of the wheel looks more exposed car drives well no issues but can someone help to clarify please


Notice the rim not flushed or aligned with the tire


Back tires 285/30 ZR 20 99y extra load? Are these correct winter pressure 44 psi

Some tires have a more narrow side wall.

I always run 265/35/18 on my rear tires but I noticed some brands are a bit wider due to a less narrow sidewall.

some tire brands and models have rim protection built into the tire sidewall rubber. It appears your tire does not.

"The “protector” part of the tire is simply a thicker rubber molded in at specific locations on the tire sidewall (usually next to the bead area or at the widest part of the tire)."
