25" tall on the 255's, 25.7" tall on the 275's. 10" wide on the 255's, 10.8" wide on the 275's. Good price wrong tire. I use this site for tire comparison. http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

don't see much problem using, but your speedo will read 60 and you'll be going 57.8

I am budgeting about $1,000 for a set of four. 1995 has wider 17 inch wheels and tires in the back then the front. Currently the car has EMTs, I don't think you can get them now.

The 275/40-17 tire on your car is one of the most popular tire sizes, and there are lots of tires to choose from in that size.

Just to disprove the naysays 255/40/17s work just fine. However, for a street tire and what sounds like normal use I would just buy 275/40/17's.
Only reason I have the 255/40/17's is that they are Dunlap Dizzera ZII's and even in the smaller size they are a WAY better Auto-x tire than ANY other street tire available in 275/40/17. That and the car is lower to the ground, better gear ratio....but I digress.

I'd get Nitto's 555 or Continental DW's in correct sizes for $100 more. Tire Rack or Discounttiredirect. Both great tires.
