Default 255's on stock wheels
I heard you can fit 255's on the stock 17 inch wheels. It doesn't really look like you can go much wider than the 235's, so I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of what 255's looked like on the stock wheels?

Yes it can be done safely but that's the limit.

Yeah, I know it's the limit. Just wanted to know if it looks good or not, don't want it to end up looking like the tire is half off the rim,

go to tirerack.com, they have an app that let's you see what different wheel or tire sizes look like and its pretty accurate or call steeda.

I've seen 255s on a 17 in wheel and it looks good. That's what I'm going with next time I get tires.
