2.75-10 tires ordered for spree

And a how-do,
Fellas, my tires are dry-rotted all to *. I've decided to order the Chen Shin C917 2.75-10 whilst ordering some other much need parts.
Are these going to fit my stock rims? I looked all over today and yesterday but couldn't confirm it 100%.
The rims are rusty aswell - spots, no flaking - any suggestions? I'm thinking: wire brush/rustoleum or similar.
Thanks,
Melchior
2.75-10 Should Fit

Greetings:
The size should be ok.
Surface prep is the key to a good paint job. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of loose rust. If that were the case, who needs to paint?

Awesome! I'm glad I made the right choice.
As for the wheels: I'm pretty deft at painting on-the-cheap so I think I'll be alright.
Thanks,
Melchior

Tires do vary in size between brands, even if the nominal size on the sidewall is the same. One brand of 2.75 may be bigger than another. Timmy had a 2.75 knobby rear tire with no issues. Some forum denizens have reported 3.00 can be made to fit with minor plastic fender trim. I have not previously read about anyone having a problem with a 2.75. What brand "rubs bad"?
