quick tire question
I've gone through a lot of searches, and all I'm looking to know is can you run 255/50/16's on all 4 corners, without issues

I have a 245/50/16 all the way arround without issues, once had a 265/50/16 omn the back, it looked great but they arent cheap.I know a 255 isnt that much wider, you would be fine.

What issues do you think you will have? The tread width of a 255 is only 0.4" wider than a 245. This means that the 255 will be 0.2" wider on the insdie of the rim (toward the inner wheel well) and 0.2" wider on the outside or the part of the rim that you see. SO there should no be any rubbing issues if you are using a stock rim or a reasonable offset or backspace.
