HEY HEY ....we all need 255s!

225/45 255/40 is the perfect stance if you make it 245/40's they will be shorter in the side wall then the 225s

 

I don't understand why they won't work.

It's only a two mm difference on the fronts. What am I missing?

 

Are those the tire sizes you want to go with?

225s have a larger contact patch than the 7" wide wheel....I"m worried about the push of the tire needing the fenders to be rolled or worse spacers (so we wont hit the insides of the suspension) with the offset being so high on the +50s

 

No. I called tirerack and they said that a 225 and 245 tire front rear would fit on the wheels. I am just really confused by this entire wheels thing. I need pictures or something.
