Have stock size 245/45/17 on all four corners (17x9.5). Last tire change guy told me to keep it stock. So I did. Any down side to putting 255's on the back this time with 245's on the front? I know the difference is very small, just curious if this will effect the ride/look at all. One more question. If I was to also change wheel size out back to an 11" would you put 315's or ???? If you guys have any input it would be appreciated. :cheers:

(Edit) doh! I just looked they are 275's all the way around, so I won't be getting the 255's. Now I just need to know what you would recommend on 11" wheels out back. Thanks

I think the biggest thing is that the circumference of the front tires and the rear tires needs to be close as the traction control will be messed up otherwise. That being said, 255 is not a problem, in fact, 275 was stock on a 93. As for the 11s, I just got my 315/35s yesterday on my 11s, and will be running my old fronts, 285/40s, up front.
