Default 255's in rear

Now, I know a 255/60 will fit on a 15x7" wheel, but anyone know if it will be fine or cuase any issues once in the wheel wells?I know a woman with 245's and she said her's are fine, but just curious about the extra 10mm.

Also, I have 5leaf mideye springs, so its alittle lower. I checked out the fitment charts, but there is little information available on 255's.

Yeah, you can get away with 265's in 65/66's and 275's 67-up. You have to have the backspacing correct though. Lowering might cause interference with the quarter panels if you bottom out real hard, but I'm not sure. With stiff springs that shouldn't be an issue.
