[QUOTE="Matt@DTD, post: 7893088, member: 70478"] Thank you for the information, I just want to make sure you and I are on the same page. The best size keeping the 255 width in mind is the 255/50-16. This tire is only 1/2" shorter compared to your oem size. This size is approved for a 7" wide wheel. This fitment is only semi aggressive. It should work with little or no modifications. You may want to do some measuring to be certain. With the new tire size, you will loose 15mm (0.6") clearance to the inside and will gain 15mm to the outside. When your speedometer reads 60mph the actual speed will be 58.8mph or 2% slower. Here's a link with all the tires we have to offer in this size.
