[Shotimes] Anybody running 255/50 16's?

[Ron Porter]

8", or preferably 9 " rims are needed for 255 tires. If you get the offset
right, they will probably fit OK, with only an occasional rub on bumps.

The point is.....why???? They will not do anything for handling,
straight-line traction won't be helped either. All you might gain is the
"looks" factor at the expense of performance.

I'm looking at putting new tires on the "SHOmurai" and need to know if there
is anybody out there running 255/50 16's?  I want to get as much rubber in
the 16 inch size, on wider rims, as I can.
