Question about Rim and Tire Size

Do you think a 255/50R16 will fit the rear of our C55? I looking into getting a CCW wheel (only about 17 lbs) mounted w/ a MT Drag Radial. Does anyone know the overall height of a 265/30/19?

I think they will, but you'll have a hard time finding a 16x9 rim to fit 255's.

Ya, I've heard nothing but positive things about these wheels.

BTW - congrats on your new shop... the website looks good (I'm a web developer) Wish you would have used me instead... lol. :p
