You can't really go that wide. If you are really looking for some nice traction, I suggest some rims.

I know a guy that can get you some HRE's with a 4" lip in the back, but the rims themselves do come with a price tag.

If you want new rims, just throw around a number and I'll see what I can do.

If you want new tires, just tell me what sizes you want and I'll get on it!

I belive you CAN put 275s at the back, thats what i'm gonna do when my conties will be gone... I'm pretty happy with 245s at the front, but i'm not too sure if 255 will fit on a stock rim!
