Default RE: what tire size?

The first issue is that you should be running 55 series tires, not 60s so that's why you're seeing the difference in tire height. I'm running 245/50-16 in the rear and it's the same tire height/rotation as stock. 255/50-16 will be a little bit taller, but I doubt you'll be able to tell a difference.
