Default 255/50/16 AP1 REAR

Tires <== will those fit the AP1 rear rims? How would it ride? Would it rub? I'm interested in big tires. Thanks in advance.

Significantly taller tire for not much extra contact patch.

That tire would be way taller than OEM or any of the other common replacements. Right now I have 245/50/16 and they're WAY too tall... my car looks like a drag car right now. 255/50/16 would be even taller.

Don't use that size. They would throw off the anti lock brakes, speedometer and odometer. They would also rub.

I wish they made a 255/45/16. The tire would have a perfect 25" OD and would fit on my 16x8" slipstreams perfectly. Someone needs to start making this custom size!
