This is probably a stupid (different) question - so flame me as appropriate - how much leeway is there in the relationship between the width of the wheel (e.g. 10.5) vs the width of the tire (e.g. 275 vs 285)?

I think the stock width of the 21” front wheel on the F95 is 10.5 and the stock tire width is 295. Could you put, for example, a tire with a width of 305 on that same wheel or would you have to get a wider wheel (e.g. 11)? I guess my question could go the other way too - could you put a 285 tire on a 10.5 wheel or would you need to go down to a 10 wheel?

I can’t imagine there is much leeway, but I was thinking there may be some without having to actually replace the wheel...maybe not though.
