Default junt mounted PS2 255/35/18 on my 18x8.5 Work wheels.

Tirerack called me b/c the size brought up a red flag for fitment. Then the guys at the tire shop (not Pepboys this time) were afraid of the control arm and fender rubbing. The clearance is really tight but after driving the day there is no rubbing heard (fenders are rolled up front). The PSS9s are set at 25.5 inches. Let's see how it sits when I stuff the family in there for a small road trip down to So Cal this weekend.

Default i was torn about the sizes.

I know you have the 245. I wanted a little wider so I could be a higher load rating too. Since you have your 245 with spacers, I took a chance that my 255 would work. Seems like a good gamble so far. So far these PS2s are real quiet and have a very light steering feel.
