Default Quick Question

A 255/50/17 is going to be equivalent in height to the stock 235/55/17s right? Thanks.

Yes, very close. I went through the same when I got my new wheels and tires. I wanted to keep the same diameter. Stock was 27 and 255/50/17 was 27.1 inches, very minimal.

They look great and keep the muscle car look.
