Are you refering to a 255 tire? What rim would you be putting them on?

I recommend a 17x9 wheel with Nitto 555 tires in 255/40 size.

The front a-arms will rub during full-lock turns, but you can either get rack stops or just learn not to cut the wheels all the way -- I do the latter.

Stock should be 225/50 on a 16x7 rim.
