if you have 7 inch rims like i do thats a bad idea. i have 255s on the rear and the tire hangs over the rim and makes a very squirly ride because of the flimsey side wall. i could only imagine if they were on the front of my car. i cant wait to get 245s back on.

i have 255/40/17 all around on a 17x9 rim. if cut all the way the outter part of the tire rubs on the a-arm? i also had to push my inner plastic fender up and put a self tapping screw in it. it started to eat through the plastic and it started grabbing the plastic and makin an awful noise. i wish i had a 17x8 up front w/ a 245 and a 265 for the rear w/ the 17x9. but the tires are flush w/ the rim and look good tho
