Default Any pics of a 255 tire on an 8" wheel?

As the title says.

Looking to see a couple pictures of a 255/40 tire on an 8" wide wheel.

Thinking of running 255's on the rear but only have an 8" wide wheel. I know it will bulge some but want to see how bad. I currently have 245's on the rear and is straight up and down with zero bulge.

I have 215's in front. Think that stagger would be best but would love to see a picture firs.t

Yeah that doesn't look too bad at all. Any other pictures by chance? Notice any ill effects with handling with them?

With the 255's up front and the 275's out back I have crazy grip. I can go into turns faster than I want to and give it as much gas as I want in the curves with out any oversteer.

I will see if I have any more pics once I get home.
