I would stick with a max of 245. I tried a 255 once and had a lot of side to side play that made the rear feel very loose.

I'm running 245/50's on all 4 corners on my 90.... The front passenger rubs a little, but it has a little body damage and is bent in slightly. The driver's side clears just fine.

26 X 10 1/2 " will fit no probs on the back if you simply reverse the quads end for end

metric size ? i think it's 255/50/16
