Hello everyone. I'm about due for some new tires. I keep going back and forth between 255's and 275's. I know what the 275's look like on the car as there is a Roush 427R nearby but need to see the 255's, particularly from the rear. Those that are using 255's, could you please post photos?

Thanks In Advance,
Jon

 

here you go - Nitto 255's on my 07 GT and BF Goodrich 255's on my 96 - take your pick!

Thanks very much fellas. They look good. I'm leaning toward the 255's in order to save money and keep the same ride height. How much of a performance gain would there be going with 275's? If it was big enough, I could justify getting them.

Honestly if you’re going to put rubber all around I my opinion go 275. I think you'll out grow the look of 255 pretty quickly after you park next to cars with 275 & 305. The look of the tire will also be influenced by your rim size. Below is a shot of BFG KD 275/40 mounted on a ROUSH 10 inch forged rim. I would have gone with 305's in the rear but they don't make the KD 40 series in that size...
