best for a daily driver.. and the biggest suggested tire size is 245/50/16 and nitto dr's.

MT and BFGdr's in 255/50/16 will fit but youre speedo will be off and they wont last as long.

The nittos are supposed to be the longest lasting DR right?

yes, followed by the BFG's then the MT's.. reverse the order; MT's BFG's then Nittos and that is the best traction to the worst.. but the Nittos will still have way better traction then any street tire.
