you can run it with no problems at all. The CR is running 255 stock rears as well

enjoy your stay here and take a look through the various sub-forums. A lot of stickied information is useful

the actual width of most tires are not consistent with their specs

e.g. goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3 are known to run narrower ... i have 255/40 on the rear and they look exactly like stock


Quick Reply: Can i run 255/40/17 with my stock 17" rear?
