Anybody running a 255 tire at all 4 corners? If so what manufacture, rim size and offset are you using? I'm lookin' to run a 9" rim on all 4 corners.

Actually thats how they spell it in England. The windshield is a windscreen , a wrench is a spanner, trunk is a boot friggin and a fanny isnt at all what youd expect it to be. limeys are nutz.

Definitely not running 255-series tires on all 4 corners. However, I do have 245's in the front and 265's in the rear...all on an 18" wheel. The front wheels are 8.5" wide and the rear wheels are 9.5" wide - Ruff Racing 278's. You may want to check out Ruff Racing Wheels. My understanding is that they are working quite a few different configurations (offset and whatnot) that are supposed to work well with the new GTO's.

I guess my concern with such a wide tire on the front is that they would likely track badly when they encounter road imperfections...pulling one way or another, but not where you want to go. Does this make sense?
