Not to bastardize your thread or anything

those tires won't tuck on that drop. you will have about 1 inch of wheel gap with the 255 on the front and mabey around 1 inch with the 295's on the back too. i'm 5/7 and my front is just barely tucking the 255's on the front, and i'm running the 255's on the back too and they tuck like an inch. the 295's are about 1.5 inches shoter than the 255's. so my 'estimate' is you will have 1 inch of wheel gap all the way around

and eddie, i just remembered liek 6 month ago when i was working at discount we got 2 295/50's shipped in that were tight as hell. i've never seen tires in that size that look like them. i wanna say they were like pzeros or or mabey michiline pilot sports or something but i forget, i will try to find them on the net. they were nice though.
