Think 255 will work? and is the second number supposed to be the width?

the 2nd number is the aspect ratio, its how tall the sidewall is in percent of the tread width (first number) you could try 255 but its probably pushing it and you wont get all that to the ground. it will kinda look pear shaped like when a fat chick sits on a chair; kinda hard to explain

i have 225/60/16s right now, but whenever i fix that front right side, either an alignment will fix it, or i need to replace the k-member or k-arm w/e its called or the strut, so that way it wont rub on a sharp right turn. im going to go with like 245/50/16s.
