I wanted to, but they didnt have that size in Azeni's where I bought my tires from Man, I didnt think it was that much of a difference. I really like the way it looks though, im definitely running 40's next time to try it out. These tires will probably wear out fast enough for me to do that on -3.3 camber. I didnt feel much of a difference with the gearing. Handles a whole heck of alot better though. Thanks!

it shouldn't handle better, if you had a 40 series tire I think you would like it more. The shorter sidewall has less flex

one guy has the +45 with asm flares running a 255 rear tire but IMO it looked like shit. I had the exact same wheel set-up with out flares and mine looked much cleaner. The flares are absolutely pointless unless you cut out your quarter panels. I would run a 255 on a 17x9+38 and a 5mm spacer if I had the flares. Gotta keep it flush and sexy up top

yea me too i have a F***ing dent above my rear tire so the asm should cover it. Also how much of the fender do you have to cut to fit a 17x9.5 rim with a 255 tire?
