You can run a 225/45 or 235/40 up front and a 255/40 in back if you roll your fenders all the way around, relocate the rear bumper mount and run -3 camber in back and -2 up front.

If you run a 215/245 combo the sidewall stretch will alow you to run about a degree less negative camber in back and .5 front. Personally I would go with the first option.

I don't think so. I am currently running this and have not seen excessive tire wear due to it.
