hey Don what size tires are you running on the rears? i got me some 17x9.5 ce28 and i was wondering would 245 be better or would it be too much of a stretch? im scared 255 wouldnt fit
a 255 on a 9.5 would have no stretch to minimal stretch, what so-ever, of course depending on tire brand, but most likely the tire will be straight up and down. It looks uber aggressive with it on though when running a 255 on 9.5.

a 245 will stretch quite a ways and will give you the clearance that you need, but it will not look as aggressive as a meaty tire. Hope this helps

I'm running a 255. The picture angle above, makes the tire look more stretched then it really is
