Rear tire width
At 6.5k miles, I have to replace my PSS rears. I'm going to use stock wheels for a few more months but most likely purchasing wheels in the future. Is 255 the widest I can go in order to use stock wheels for the time being and a wheel upgrade in the future?

I don't know if you can or want to go over 255s on 8" wheel, but years ago, I ran 255s on a 16x7 inch wheels, and I never had a problem... Just remember, it's on you, if your tire blows off because you put too wide a tire on for the rims.

Some tires may be OK, kind of, others may be wider while nominally the same size. Depends on manufacturer and specific tire model. |

6.5k and they need replacement? I've done some aggressive driving and at 4,900 miles, mine are looking good.

Wow - closing on 9k miles here including 1 week @ Deals Gap with a lot of hard mountain road driving - tires are in great shape.

I'm hoping for 16-17k but with 18x9.5 rear wheels going on next week, I won't mind the chance go wider a bit sooner. If I get 15k from the rears I'll be happy.
