Sounds good. I thought you were really after that absolute max. I was, so that's why I steered you to the spacer and warned about wheel studs. 245's are definitely a better fit but 255 is doable. Wish I would have at least mentioned the 245's before. Sorry you had all this hassle.
I appreciate all of your help. And you are correct in what you told me. It seems like I always go down a rabbit hoe l o l And I would have ran the other tires if the studs would have been a little longer... like you told me I would need..ty
