Default 4.10 gear too much for 255/50/17

I've posted up here about staggered setups and I'm driving myself nuts. I would like 18x9 18x10 setup, all seasons, non-directional. Its appearing to be next to impossible to get that setup.

So I may lean back to my 17x9 rims and 255/50 all around. Question is will my 4.10 be too much gear for that size?

Thats not much different than stock, just a slightly small diameter. I dont believe it will affect gearing much at all. (Assuming thats what youre asking....)

Or are you asking if 4.10s have too much spin-power for skinny 255s as opposed to 275 or 295? In that case I dont know.

Sorry, not sure what you were asking.

Yeah my concern was too much wheel spin to the shorter gear. I think I'll give it whirl. If I'm not happy with it I'll just upgrade.
