Welcome from out of the shadows! Good to have you here!

You'd need to check the manufacture's specs. I know for Avon's, they have a nice chart that details the rim width range for the various tire sizes. Some will say that if it fits and seals, send it. I tend to err on the side of caution and follow the specs. For the tire you're asking about, I found this on Shinko's website.

For Avon, I found this. Looks like just 280 and 300 tires are ok for 10" rims.

+1 good advice and excellent docs. Too narrow a rim and the tire crowns too sharply and the middle wears flat in a few miles. Too wide the outer wears and cornering sux. It's the tire's construction that matters.

A 300 may cause you other issues such as belt clearance, swingarm clearance etc. If you are running a 280 now maybe best to stick with a 280
