Re: need new tires got a few questions

25.2mm = 1" so a 255 is a full two inches wider than what you're running now.

The 205's are already slightly over 8" wide so on a 6" rim the tire side walls are pulled in about an inch per side. 255's would have them pulling in two inches per side. Seems a bit too wide to me.

I've got 235/75 (take offs) on 7" rims and they pull in about 1-1/8" per side. Looks about right to me.
