255's should fit fine on the stokc 8 inch wide rims, keep in mind that EVERY tire maker is different in width, there is no uniform width... (which is sad since XX mm is... XX mm... but there are no restrictions on it) so some tire brands will be more narrow compared to others.
255/45/17's should work, dont need a 50 series sidewall~ that will be to tall.

I put 275/40s Fuzion ZRIs on the back of mine. I was testing them for a buddies shop. They fit fine.

don't put a 275 tire on a 10.5 tire it looks like shit. I would run no less than a 295 on a 10.5 wheel.

A 315 is a hell of a tire man but it would certainly look better than a 275.

Not a chance....the biggest tire I would run on a stock wheel is a 255 like your lookin at. I've seen people put 275's on a stock rim but its a bad idea, the tire is too wide for the rim. |
